Has anyone been watching D'angelo Russell... I am interested in hearing about his basketball intelligence. Numbers are numbers. Just looking for opinions whether he is sharp on the court -- if he gets it. I've read comparisons to Steph Curry, but I really haven't seen Russell play. I know people are focused on the big boys in Okafor and Towns, but IMO, bigs tend to take a few more years to develop than smalls. With the trade deadline movement of pretty much every PG, it seems to me that there are more PF/Cs available in FA. So, I am leaning more towards the most talented PG/SG from the draft.

Shouldn't we start counting down to March madness first, then the draft lottery- we need to set ourselves more immediate goals!

Haven't watched him in games, but he just looks smooth as hell in youtube clips:
