Have you guys seen this? They weren't kidding with WCS being able to guard 1-5.

I heard his 3/4 sprint was 3.15 while John Wall's was 3.13. That's hyper-elite athleticism for a 7 footer.

That was awesome. I didn't want WCS at 8 (not that we had a choice, as it turns out), but he's going to be a super fun player to watch. Think Nerlens with a thicker body and even quicker feet... although his offensive game might be even worse.

D'angelo Russell looks less explosive than Dinwiddie.

I think Russell will be fine, he just needs time to get acclimated. He hasn't looked like he's playing with his usual confidence, and he's missed too many pull up jumpers that he'll typically make.

Yeah me too, but it was just surprising I didn't remember him being that slow.

Worst case, Russell turns into Burke 2.0, but the best case is multiple all stars.

He's really strange as a prospect. Many compared him to Harden like game or Curry. But he doesn't have Harden's strength and sneaky quickness nor Curry's fox like agility in driving lanes. He compares more of a Ginobilli at the moment maybe without the reckless abandon though IMO. I think he'll do fine though.

i think its much like a QB having to adjust to play calls and sytems. Russels the type of player that plays with a feel for the game. I think he's in his own head. Once it slows down for him, which it will, he's going to be really good

Mudiay looking really good in Summer League

Not putting up crazy stats (had 19/10 recently) but his driving and passing is off the charts

Denver will end up getting the steal of the draft with Mudiay at #7

As much as I like Reggie, Mudiay/KCP/Drummond would have been a killer young core

Russell and the Lakers vs. Porzingis and the Knicks about to start. Time for DRuss to start looking like the guy we saw at Ohio State.

Wow Randle and Russell look terrible.

I'd be concerned if I was a Laker fan. That's for sure.

The game looks entirely to fast for Russell. That has to concern the Lakers. He looks like a former all star pg, who's lost a step, but still has excellent skills. He is, without a doubt, the slowest 19yo pg, ever. I mean it's shocking how slow he is. Wierd as hell.

Towns is a fouling machine

Is it just me or does Mudiay look like Pistons Reggie Jackson?

Reggie on steroids, anyway. Mudiay is a huge dude. Doesn't look like he has Reggie's spider arms, though.
