Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

How does it make D'Angelo Russell feel that Ball is coming for his spot?

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

I love how the top players (Fultz and Monk) both mentioned liking pick & roll offense.

But keep running that Triangle Phil. Smartest man in the room.

Earlier he was saying "he has a 6'9",6'10" wingspan" so he's being consistent. He didn't know exactly, and all eve (even hours back) he was saying 6'9"/6'10"

It's funny because I know Bilas is big on the wingspan talk... but yeah it's still pretty consistent.

I loved listening to him since he eviscerated Josh Smith when he was drafted as he walked on the stage.

Offensively Russell is really better as a 2, but the problem is that I don't think that Ball or Russell can guard the one or the two, guess we'll just try and out score everybody.

Who cares how he feels, he's a professional so be exactly that, professional about it. Hopefully anyways.

They were playing him at the two a lot late in the season for this reason. He had his highest scoring game of the year at the 2 spot. He ain't a real PG (doesn't play like one anyways) so let Ball play the one, he's more natural there.

Why is anyone so sure Ball would get his spot? Russell was a much better college player so I'm not sure what their is to show that Ball could take his spot.

You don't have to be sure, I am. Ball WILL get the one spot if that's indeed who we take. Guaranteed.

Russell isn't a natural 1 in the NBA and it shows. He's a tweener with more fluid scoring coming at the 2.

We aren't talking college.

Clarkson?

Exactly one of those two, yea.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

Russell is a point guard who averaged <5 assists this season. Ball is a natural playmaker. I think they compliment each other rather than hinder.

Lonzo can't play off ball?

I know most teams usually have backcourts where both guys can handle the ball/bring the ball up so I don't even know if it would even matter which one of them is 1/2.

Yeah... sorry about the typo.

Seemed like he was soured on by fans a little bit by season's end.

I know there's a huge Filipino community, fan contingency for him out here. But otherwise, yea I'd say your assessment is correct.
