Who do you have at No. 5?
Pelton: D'Angelo Russell rounds out my top five. The No. 2 overall pick has made incremental progress in his second season, improving his assist rate from 4.2 per 36 minutes to 6.0, increasing his usage rate to 27.4 percent of the Lakers' plays (up from 24.2 percent) while maintaining his efficiency and improving on the defensive glass.
While Russell still has a long way to go in his development as a playmaker and defender, a look around the league shows the opposite story at point guard as at center: Russell is perhaps the league's best full-time point guard younger than age 25, which augurs well for his long-term development.
You've consistently favored Emmanuel Mudiay over Russell. Is that still the case?
Ford: No. Mudiay is still struggling and Russell is looking better. But neither is at No. 5 for me.
Ford:
Towns
Porzingis
Jokic (drafted in 2014, but came over in 2015)
Turner
Booker
Pelton:
Towns
Jokic
Porzingis
Turner
Russell
but hes a one way playerAlways forget Joker. Dude is a beast. In a draft that we needed a center/big...maaaaan.
but hes a one way player
Jah was considered the same
going into the draft, the talk was about about us choosing to draft an offensive big to be next to Juju which would create issuesAnd D'Lo is a 2 way player?but hes a one way player
Jah was considered the same
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuddddddddddddddddiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy
You know what's gonna be interesting?
DLo vs Mudiay tonight.
didnt even read that he wasnt drafted in the same classJoker wasn't even in the same draft. I'm just wondering why you brought up they are one way players while the guy we drafted is as well and even worse on defense than they are.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuddddddddddddddddiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy
You know what's gonna be interesting?
DLo vs Mudiay tonight.
d'lo gon cook that boy
You know what's gonna be interesting?
DLo vs Mudiay tonight.
David Wesley is better than Mudiay too. Let's set it there first, since we're supposed to be patient with the kid and take baby steps.Dlo is better than Mudiay
But let's not set the bar so low
does melo have more heart than d'lo?Melo for Calderon & Lou Williams.
Am I doing right whiplash?
Contracts don't match.Melo for Calderon & Lou Williams.
Am I doing right whiplash?
Without question. You ever seen DLo play with more intensity than Melo, in spite of Melo's shortcomings on defense?does melo have more heart than d'lo?Melo for Calderon & Lou Williams.
Am I doing right whiplash?
ExactlyMelo is not a winner
Keep him away.
