I trust in Couse. But I am not convinced Whiteside has the basketball IQ of Russell

He can make up for that physically though. Bill Russell was only 6'9". Hassan is 7'0" with a 7'7" wingspan.

Dru Smith very lucky he got that 500k this year. He should invest and manage a subway after all this-MettaWorldPanda

Although I love Hassan, if there's a player that is similar to Bill Russell in the league it's Nerlens Noel. Hassan is a fantastic rim protector but he doesn't have Russell's versatility. Noel reminds me of Russell in a big way but obviously he has a very long way to go to reach that caliber if he ever does.

He still has alot to learn still, obviously, but goddamn he has been so damn good for a novice :nod:

I hope this compliment won't gas him up - his easily prone to egotism.
