he's nothing like him.
Shut up.
People never want to compare current rising prospects with past players who aren't in the hall of fame.
That's an accurate comparison.
Ultra athletic point guard, who can score, mainly off of driving the ball, and is especially strong on the boards. Distributes well, more so in the open floor. Plays the passing lanes well because of athelicism and reaction time. Not really a great shooter. Average fare from the line. Dominates the ball a little more than a point should.
Even their stats across the board are comparable.
STOP! JUST STOP!. There games are totally different. steve francis was a terrible on the ball defender. Russ is a lock down defender, it is actually his best skill imo. Francis was also a terrible teammate who would pout and complain about having to pass the ball. Once Rudy T was no longer the coach, and he wasnt able to go Iso for 20 seconds and chuck a bad shot he was shown to be no damn good. russ plays well w/in a team and doesn't force the issue too much.
and back to the question, i saw each of his college games. I thought he would be nice, but not great. I'm happy for the dude he has worked his butt off getting better. Props!
