A PURE PG who is as good as any young PGs I have seen in the past. That includes Chris Paul. He has infinite range with his jumper, and handles his own on defense. He will definitely be a lottery player
Damn! That kid is special
You guys have to see this game I am watching. Ohio Vs Iowa
Russell is definitely NBA ready; he has an array of shots in his repertoire. For a young dude, he impresses me
1969--hes a top 3 pick above Mudiay because he can shoo it and proven. And Unless Towns is consistent he could go #2 I did put Towns back ahead of Russell but that is fluid. I feel real good the Knicks will get a really nice player whether Towns Okafor or Russell--I think anyone who has seen Russell this year is F impressed. Unless a miracle I dont see Mudiay above Russell. IF Russell had Kobe athleticism--he would go #1.
BRIGGS, I love that kid. He plays with a poise that is beyond his age. If we can draft him and Stein, I will be a very happy fan:::))

I completely agree. Russell is really good. Complete player in the making. He has moved above mundiay for me at the moment. Okafor and towns are still my top 2 but we are going to get a really good player at a position of need. Russell seems like a prototype Phil jax pg as well.

I have seen a lot of young PGs in my time. From Kidd, Marburry, Deron Williams, Paul ETC, this kid Russell has super stardom written all over him. I know we need a big, but I don't think we should pass on this kid for Okafor if we were to end up with the first pick.

We need a Big and A PG/SG. HECK WE JUST NEED TALENT PERIOD!!! I'd love to get this kid or Okafor or Towns. We just need to catch a break for once and land one of these top kids. Russell kind of reminds me of a big Steph Curry.
the kid does have game... towns, turner in that order with mudiay(china stats are impressive), okafor, stanley johnson and russell in some order is how i have it...

I don't believe he I as crafty with the ball as Curry. He sure as hell can shoot the ball.
That bounce pass he threw against Iowa had some serious top spin. I don't think I have seen that in an actual NBA game unless it's much more subtle.
If we miss out on the two bigs I'd want this kid over Mudiay

I don't cace much for the Mudiay kid, because I don't really know much about him. Although, if he was coached by Larry Brown, he probably has some good qualities. I would take Russel over many; including Okafor. In my opinion,The kid is that good.
