Will be a very entertaining game. I just can't see Zona losing to this team...

Russell does seem to have a 'Hakeem from Empire' swag that I don't really dig tho.

If that's how you see it then just say you want the Knicks to pick Jahlil Okafor

Were about to see how Russel will do against NBA size.
He's got 6'5 240 Stan and 6'8 RHJ on deck.

The whole pay thing is what it is. It's why I don't get mad at kids leaving early. But it doesn't take away from the fact that some of these kids never develop like they should because they leave early. Russell will be fine in the long run, I just don't see him doing much his first year or two. Okafor is really the only one I'm confident in coming in right away and doing well from the jump.

I want Towns who'll also need a year or two. But Okafor wouldn't be bad at all. He's the most ready out of everyone in college.

Man. I just couldn't disagree more. I think Russell's game translates perfectly to the NBA. I think he will win ROTY.

I would argue Towns is more NBA ready than Okafor, but I'm not going to take away from the games/thread.

Talent wise yeah, I just think the NBA will be too physical for him year one.
Oubre is another one that's gonna struggle for a couple of years. He's definitely not ready.

So dangelo staying in college for another year, with more college training, against college competition, would make him more equipped for the NBA?
He would only be a year older staying. That's it

Y'all don't see Russell being a Bradon Roy light in the NBA?

I dunno. I think you are overrating the physicality difference a little too much. As frail as MCW was when he came in the league, he doesn't even look that bad anymore. I also don't really consider Russell to be weak. Did you think Wiggins should have stayed another year?

I think he's a little more shifty than Roy and a better long range shooter. Also likes to push the ball much more than Roy did.
There's a smaller Harden/Ginobili mixed with Curry in him.
