This been a fun discussion all year. I just feel like even when you giving him props you mask it with "it was in garbage time" or something like that. He had a solid December and you hardly acknowledged as suchI'll be watching in the cut. I don't think he has a high chance at being a perennial All Star caliber player. I see him at best being a Goran Dragic level of player. At worst, he's Ramon Sessions level of player.
I've said plenty of times...when he plays well, I always give him his props. When he plays bad, I'll call him out on it. Thought this season, he's been about 70% bad and 30% good.
I've said this plenty of times. I think he'll be fine in this league and have a long career. Don't see him as a potential star, or a franchise building block. That's all.
Then you factor in the fact that you hold it against him for being the #2 pick and that he's doing historically bad for a #2 pick.. that's where it's like, come on fam
Dude has to deal with Kobe/Lou/Swaggy jacking shots, has to deal with Byron. If Jabari Parker can use the Jason Kidd excuse and the teammate excuse, Russell should too
Anyway, NO HATE TOWARDS YOU, I'm just also trying to call it how I see it
