I polled a friend of mine who watches OSU and he told me Russell shoots so many floaters and midrange J's because he makes up his mind early to shoot i.e. he's settling and not really looking to finish at the rim. Sounded weird to me but plausible I guess.
I wouldn't bet on the draft, PhaZe. You're putting money on the under pressure decision making of some pretty incompetent dudes.

yea ima fall back
some shit on realgm about the kings looking into mcgee now
like..if all you want to do is take your loserville bullshit from another team and bring them all to my squad...smh, terrible hire, I'd fire him yesterday
By thekad Go To PostIt's strange none of the top guys in the draft are elite athletes this year.Friend, have you heard the good news about Kristaps Porzingis
By thekad Go To PostIt's strange none of the top guys in the draft are elite athletes this year.I hope its a sign the league smarten up to prefer dude that look fluid on court than the one that athletic on empty gym.
But these zingis hype doe
has mudiay even had a good workout yet

Adrian Wojnarowski ✔@WojYahooNBAAnother old midrange shooter for Memphis
For Luke Ridnour, the Grizzlies will send Orlando the rights to 2013 second-round pick Janis Timma, league sources tell Yahoo.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posthas mudiay even had a good workout yetIt's definitely based off his high school hype. Because his stock has actually taken something of a hit since the workout season began. People saw that jump shot in person and recoiled.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Posthas mudiay even had a good workout yetHe should turn out better than Exum at the very least.

Not that that says much.
I was right about Rubio and Exum. Now I hope I'm right about Hezonja and Mitch finds a way to make Boogie + Hezonja a reality.
By KingGondo Go To PostHe should turn out better than Exum at the very least.Exum isn't the athlete Mudiay is. So he has that going for him. Also, Exum is like two years away from playing in Italy.
Not that that says much.
I still think my hangup about Mudiay is, if you can't shoot, what else are you doing? Rubio is an elite defender and floor general, so you can overlook it. Mudiay isn't much of a defender and I don't know about his ability to get to the basket in the NBA, so I just ... I don't want to touch him.
Exum is a better athlete than Mudiay in terms of quickness and explosiveness, but Mudiay is 50 pounds bigger and is a better ball handler.
Also, Dekker supposedly jumped into the top 10 along with Devin Booker, DY terrified.

By diehard Go To PostExum is going to make you all look stupidI'm with you diehard. Lamb gonna be right there with him proving the haters wrong.
On the Sixers
My gun to my head "they gona be good?" picks are Dekker and Kaminsky actually lol
Kaminsky especially. And....for defense. Dude just took everything Okafor, Towns and WCS had to offer and was laughing. Taking charges on Q n shit.

By diehard Go To PostExum is going to make you all look stupidI know you don't believe this. It's okay, we all draft busts. The important thing for Utah is to cut bait and not keep feeding him minutes just because he was once the No. 5 pick.
By psychintellect Go To PostAnother old midrange shooter for Memphis
He's just here for a minute till he gets shipped to Sacramento along with Jeff Green

Dude is trying to sabotage the Lakers, it's obvious. He wants us to take Russell so we don't take Porzi which would threaten the Warrior's future potential.

He set us up for 15 seasons in one single off season.
Monta Ellis is opting out and Pacers/Miami are interested. Miami really trying to push Wade out huh?
With Monta out Dallas is targeting Danny Green/

By reilo Go To PostWelp, just ordered a $100 coffee grinder.
Recently bought a vitamix. made me cry tears because of the cost but then it replaced those tears with a grin once I realized I could make soup in it, fresh hummus, and margaritas!
By Morzingis Go To PostLS is trying to reverse jinx ….ain't gonna work.
Only way I'd be trying to reverse jinx is if KAT was available. He's not so gimme dat Porzi.
By blackace Go To PostI think Russ is the best player in the drafti stand corrected, great minds think alike.
By lovingsteam Go To PostMeh, what does West know…@Probballdraft: The Lakers prefers Russell over Okafor if they keep the pick. Still in play for Cousins according to sources. #NBADraft
ead, papangu.
I'm cool with Russ at #2, but.....I'd feel really bad for Knux. Like any other team and I'd laugh but damn, Knux can't have nothing nice.
Best case LA flips the pick for Boogie and Knux can get his 2 guard of the future.
Clarkson
Russ/Kobe/Jabari Brown
FREE AGENT
Randle/ Kelly
Ed Davis/Tarick Black
Most dangerous 13th seed of all time

I prefer Russell over Oakfor too, especially since Okafor won't be able to hold a candle to Porzi but neither will Russell.

a part of me thinks mitch is planting "leaks" over russell to get hinkie to hand over next year's draft or embiid.
i still believe.

I could see Mitch saying he's picking anyone that other teams want to try and get what he wants + some extra.
Wouldn't be surprised if Russ is that liked by LA with West's son as a influential scout right now. LA's interest in Okafor might have been a fabrication from the jump to lure teams into a trade like the boogie situation.
Mitch wants Boogie and his healthy knees.
I just wanna say that all these new uni's except for the Sixers & Bucks have been ass.
Especially the Hawks & Clippers. I don't even...
Especially the Hawks & Clippers. I don't even...
I've been leaning Russell over Okafor myself. Quality 2 guards are just as rare as quality bigs and I think there's less bust potential. I don't know if I could stand to see another big shoot 50% from the line again too ....
Either way we go I won't be upset. I think both will be good players.
I'm still hoping for a DMC trade of some sort.
The Hawks jerseys are fucking aweful. Those stupid triangle background effects on the tops look like shit and look even worse when paired with shorts that don't have the same pattern. Just fucking ugly shit.

Whatever the Knicks do I know it'll be hilarious.
By knux-future Go To PostRumors say we want Russell or Mario.
pls
Mario is a more athletic, less playmaker Russ with a shtitier attitude, not a bad 2nd option. pls don't be sad.
If Mario's asshole gene doesn't blow up in his face, it will be awesome. That Messi line is some baller as shit man.
I just fear that if he comes here, the high levels of not shit will piss him off

In Thunder related "news", Alex Kennedy says that there have been discussions between OKC and San Antonio for the Spurs to move up to #14.
Danny Green please...
Danny Green is a free agent and can't be traded and he's worth a top 7 pick as he's one of the best shooters and defenders in the league anyway.
Mario+Saric would be so much asshole, holy shit.
