Whats is the idea in putting together those two?
There is a belief by Saunders and Rosas that Russell is more valuable as an off guard who can give quality minutes as a point guard vs Russell being a main point guard in the rotation.

I also believe in Russell more as an-off guard, thats why Rubio makes sense.
Russell - Ball
That defense though

Imagine if this was the biggest draft fakeout ever pulled claiming their returning star wing is injured again causing everyone to rethink who the Warriors might draft last minute in order to make them all fear the players they thought were sure to be available might not drop now.

There is a belief by Saunders and Rosas what? Probably should provide a quote to that point if claiming such a thing.
You guys are 90% wrong or backwards in my opinion. He's better leading the offense and I don't think it's particularly close. But that's just me, oh and yesterday an espn roundtable agreed that Dlo is better running the offense and it's why they didn't see it as Balls best possible team because that team will have to put everything in Balls hands and let him junkyard ball their offense to get the most out of him.

Re: NBA Draft Day Thread
No reason to be nervous. We are picking 1. We are taking whoever we think the best player in the draft is.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

I think I've decided I hate the NBA draft. It's not about getting the best player anymore.
