Maybe if Russell spent less time at the barbershop and more time in the gym, he would be on Mudiay's level.

Re: College Thread AKA Prospect Watch
Yes! Great game from Russell. We are having Ohio State versus Arizona.

And Okafor doesn't have defense or great shotblocking or great rebounding. Russell is a gamer!

Re: College Thread AKA Prospect Watch
Russellmania continues. This freshman scored 28 like it was easy. He's the type of player you think is having an off game, but then you look at the box score and see his stats are great.

It's going to be a slaughter because they of Thad Motta's terrible schemes, the fact that they are severely undersized, and because his teammates are void of any basketball talent.
I just want to see how Russell responds.

Sorry if I'm not thrilled with a 6'5 combo guard that can't dunk.
Mudiay can do everything Russell can but with the athleticism to carry it all over to the NBA.

Basically none of these prospects are perfect. Someone with a number of flaws, is going to be selected by Phil.

Also, Mudiay can't shoot like Russell and is significantly more turnover prone. Oh yeah, he also doesn't have the Rose/Wall athleticism that many people think he has.
