I give him props when he plays well. But y'all be acting like dude flat out is showing he's special. To be real, those numbers are bad for a #2 overall pick. Being a very high pick comes with the territory and scrutiniyy.

Y'all disappear when he is 1/11 for 2 points...when he has a good game...the narrative is "people really gave up on Russell"......

Dude, every Laker game from the 2nd quarter on is garbage time

You are doing way too much all the time with Russell :lol:

So where should he have been picked? Like #4 instead?

This.

He has had a few good games but so far I have seen nothing to suggest he will even be a borderline all star

Uh, no. Not me, I never said he's flat out doing special things

Like I said, he's had 3 bad games in the entire month. You aint doing the spade is a spade thing, you just being bitter and irrational

Again, tell me where he should have been picked then

anything other then second. 
 
Russell will be fine
He's a rookie, he's gonna suck at some games

When he's a 3rd or 4th year and still plays inconsistent is when he should get the most scrutiny
 
D'Angelo has been fine when you consider he's playing for an inept coach that seemingly hates him and wants to handcuff his potential.

A month ago I had a Blakes back.

Dray is better

they just don't like dray cuz he's darkskin lol. They wanna say he gets triple doubles because of the system. blake isnt at an advantage because of his system? dudes are blind. that lightskin privilege.
 
Maybe yall should take a look at some of the guys taken #2 over the years. Dlo is probably one of the best if we're going off two months

somebody gotsta loot in the riot, that's what russell is doing

Which isn't really his fault. You put any rookie on the Lakers and they wouldn't make an impact on the number of W's

like i said, somebody's got to put up the numbers. byron might as well roll with the young guys and see what they can do and let them go through the growing pains.
you got to hit a homerun with that 2nd pick. he has to be special

With the exception of today...he's been really bad and only scored some pts in garbage time


Bad for #2 overall pick. Yes.

Go look at the guy behind him...

Elite offensive player... Shooting 45% from the field this month as a Center.. And he has elite post moves..

One of the worst rebounders from the 5. And is horrid on every facet of defense..



Russell has been fine..

Evan turner was getting slander for putting up similar numbers as a rookie. MKG, Derrick Williams, Otto Porter etc. Show and prove.
 
Looter in a riot is the laziest breakdown you can possibly come with. Stop parroting bloggers :lol:

Bro so you're actually saying he's not doing any worse than other recent ##2 picks :lol:

14, 4 and 4 in December but he deserves no credit because it's in garbage time. Not great but definitely not terribly horrible either

with jabari last year. 

not that many great number two picks. 
 
Russ is not horrible and won't be Jeremy Lin levels of garbage or anything

But I don't see him being an all star at all. Especially playing the pg position

At most he will be a Denver prime ty Lawson level player
