Completely agree. There are some legit things for Russell to work on, but guys really do need to relax.
That said, Russell's turnovers were a problem but one that can be fixed. It will be helped immensely by getting some chemistry with his teammates...
So, we're really going to go in full blown panic mode over the summer league? Come on guys.
I expect Randle to be able to push around Kristaps pretty easily. Hoping he can finish better tonight.
I am trying my best to avoid the Okafor talk but since we apparently just aren't going to let this go and move on..... I think Okafor is showing...
As far as Him vs Okafor, I am done with that. Russell is a Laker and he's got my support. I liked the pick when we made it and still do.
I think Russell will be fine, but that doesn't mean we can't critique him. He stuffs a stat sheet which I've liked about him from minute one....
I agree. He's got a lot of potential. I think he can be a solid offensive player too. Maybe we can bring Kareem in to work with him a bit.
Okafor was bothered by tall guys in college a number of times, including against Utah and Gonzaga in the tournament. I also thought Upshaw was...
I think Upshaw just needs to get in shape. He's showing plenty of positive signs.
I would love it if Nash stuck around to help Russell...

In Russell's defense, I think it would also help him if we ran some kind of freaking offense....

Nance is the hustling, do everything guy we have been needing for a while.
Russell was careless with the ball and his shot was off but he still managed to fill the stat sheet. Back to back games along with Byron's...
The guys just aren't used to playing with a guy like Russell who can get them the ball the way he can. I expect to see quite a few passes...
Yeah. I don't have the numbers in front of me but it seemed like BuYcks was out there forever. The more playing time for Russell, Upshaw, etc...
Russell looked solid. Came out really strong to start the game. Has to adjust and cut down turnovers but overall a good performance. The...
Finally got to listen to this. I think it confirms a lot of what we suspected. There are just too many cooks in the kitchen in these meetings....
