Not feeling Russell anymore?

Russell has some risk with his lack of athleticism. Would be a great consolation prize. Okafor and Towns are guaranteed studs.

I think Michael Redd with better vision is a good comparison for him.

If he could average 20 points a game like Redd did for 4 seasons I think people will be more than good with that.

I just haven't been impressed with Russell in the games I've gotten the chance to see.

UConn always has a clutch PG my gawd that J was nasty.

Jahlil Baryshnikov is showing out now.

Mudiay may be back in conversation with a 3rd pick overall now/when workouts start.

But damn Okafor's moves in the post are crazy. THey are so quick and with overwhelming strength

I was banking on Russell or Mudiay being able to fit themselves in the Top 2 discussion but looking unlikely. Hope that the word in Philly is true that Hinkie is so high on Mudiay that he would pick him #1 in the draft. Will boil down to a 46.5% chance for us to landing these two bigs if he hang on to the worst record.

Indeed.

I've always had Mudiay as the #3 guy even with Russell rising up the ranks in other people's mocks. I can definitely see him ringing bells come workout time.

MOMENTUM SHIFT!

You tell Auguste to run for the hills because he can't guard him.

JBreezeNY · Post #4292 » by **JBreezeNY** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 3:22 am

Well at least Okafor contested there :lol:

That wasn't a smart foul though.

Russell's fine...he's been dealing with I think is a hamstring injury... Either that or he's on cruise control... Mudiay really doesn't have anything on Russell..

E-Balla · Post #4294 » by **E-Balla** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 3:23 am

Come on Jahlil. Don't foul the shooter man.

Yeah Russ is playing hurt. Ever since he messed up his leg he's played differently I think its still nagging him.

We need Okafor a swingman (Butler or Kawhi) and an elite guard!!

islanders11040 · Post #4297 » by **islanders11040** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 3:30 am

I still think Russell Would be great on our offense. HIs great passing will fit with the constant cutting and movement too. You dont need insane speed for open shots in the triangle either. Playing next to a Melo will work will with Russell

The Priest screamed "Oh my God" in the back to the okafor no charge call lol
