Would like him to develop a go to move (ie floater, hook shot) around the basket. That will open up his game.
That explains why his overall lackluster play. He seemed slow and very hesitant to penetrate. Hopefully he comes back fully healed. I still expect...
Yeah I'm worried too. As critical as I've been of his play lately, his potential as a scorer is undeniable. If his knees are shot the setback...
What's important is that he's on an upward trajectory. I'm still very optimistic.
Sorry guys, I need to stay away from this thread and vent somewhere else.
Sure, but I'm talking about how the floodgate opened. Those 2 consecutive turnovers in the 3rd quarter really killed our momentum. The first TO...
A "cautious" Russell cost us this game imo.
"....playing cautiously bc of his sore left knee" His performance was subpar even when healthy. If playing cautiously means jacking up threes...
Sigh... excuses are unacceptable at this level. If he needs to play cautious he needs to sit out until he's fully healed. I rather give his...

His per-100-possession averages are 40.7 pts, 13.7 rebs, and 6.6 blks. According to bkref, no player has met that statistical threshold since...
Those 2 turnovers in the 3rd turned the momentum to the Bulls.... and that ill-advised 30 footer down the stretch..... cringe-worthy game from...
^ That too :D
It seems to me like he's not used to defenders closing out on him so quickly. His shots seem rushed because he's not getting the spacing he got in...
:Laugh:
I was very optimistic and admittedly probably a little insane.
I do too.
Yes, games like the last one is where I see the superstar potential. And I know he can string together a few of those games (post-ASB, summer...
I hate to be a downer, but I've always been concerned with Russell's mental make-up, whether the issue being immaturity, ADHD, or lack of focus....
