    Some, but not much. He's always averaged about a block a game.

    i'd prefer russell but it seems like the only way they'll take him #2 is if the FO is 101% confident they'll be able to land a FA big man like gasol or aldridge

    if not, it's okafor all the way

    My phones been blowing up by friends and facebook comments as if I'm the one drafting for the Lakers. It's hilarious.

    Also, keep in mind that Byron Scott is GREAT at developing young guards.

    Ok thanks, that seems realistic. A little worse than Clarkson's rookie production. I'll take 15/7 from Okafor.

    Yeah I mean if he's asked to carry a team like he might be in Philly, then his averages will go up certainly, but HERE that's what I'd expect from him. He'd be asked more to space the floor than to create and honestly I think that's what he'll be better at in the NBA.

    Russell is a much better shooter, rebounder, and passer coming out of college than Clarkson was.

    D'Antonio (with Russell) would actually be a pretty decent coach for the team. Two slick scoring guards who can pass well. An athletic pf who can dribble and pass...team is actually being tailor made for Pringles. Haha

    Yes but he's also slower and less explosive. He'll have more trouble separating in the NBA I think than Clarkson. Not to mention Clarkson only really played about half a season. His numbers would be worse on average if he were asked to play the whole year.
