NBA Summer League Las Vegas Thread VOL. Sacramento Kings Depending Champs!

Highly agree with that last statement. He def needs to watch as much harden as possible and copy the hell outta him

Can he take the contact like James tho? He is a good 35-40 pounds lighter

Feel like Byron is going to encourage Dangel Russel's worst instincts, really wish he went to the sixers.


Russel gotta be a lights out shooter or he's gotta starti working on some crafty Manu/Harden foul drawing techniques.

Fully prepared for the step back Js.

I think after Russel plays against dudes like Harden and fouls them a couple times, he gon pick up a few tricks from em ...still concerned bout his lack of explosiveness/speed tho, will struggle to score if he has any type of off night with his jumper....gotta say his vision is top notch tho :x , he sees everthing out there

Nah, good point actually lol he'll get stronger eventually but idk if his frame can take the pounding harden does even as he matures.

His vision is crazy

Exactly, Harden is lightweight chubby but he's exceptionally strong and can finish/take contact like nobodies business.

Russell ain't quite there but neither was Harden when he first came to the L, he was still better at that than Russell is now though.

Glad Jackson is back, achillies is so scary and he was balling out before the injury.

The way the Sixers roster is, dude has a legimately chance at starting if he plays at his best.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Sounds like Byron Scott finally coming around to the whole 3>2 thing.

 

[og lil nut]

I'm sorry to any sensible laker fans on here but that thread is filled with morons.

 

[frshstunna]

Yo Byron is legit in good spirits right now, even swaggy P talk couldnt faze him

Yeah I say put him at the 1. Wroten at 2. Stauskas at 3, even though he'll get cooked on defense, nérlens then okafor

 

[wavycrocket]

I just don't think Russell is naturally as creative of a ball handler and finisher as Randle/manu. Combined with his lack of strength...he's going to struggle til he figures it out.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Not only was harden like 230 at the combine, also had one of the hieghest bench press numbers that year Im pretty sure.

 

[awwsome]

Yeah I say put him at the 1. Wroten at 2. Stauskas at 3, even though he'll get cooked on defense, nérlens then okafor

He and Wroten both have a lot of talent, I feel like they gotta trade Wroten, he's better with the ball in his hands.

I still got hope for Stauskas.

 

[awwsome]

Do they even do the bench press at the combine anymore?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I see y'all are seeing some of the gripes I had with Russell.

Still young, he'll figure it out eventually, but this is why I thought he'd struggle initially.

Indeed, he's going to have to get a real nice floater in between game while he puts on strength.

Athletes.

Nance Jr got pogo sticks for legs

well I mean you do need some players on the floor so there's no reason to get rid of wroten. Plus he's not gonna get you a ton of value

 

[wavycrocket]

Nance Jr got pogo sticks for legs

Dude is real bouncy. Plays with that "pop"

 

[esaw612]

James Anderson is the goods 

 

[pmatic]

Clarkson is too good in this setting.

You right but dude is wild injury prone, matter fact so are most guys on the Sixers.


I really like Wroten though, he's just a natural, comes from a family of exeptional athletes.


If he can stay healthy, he's going to be a player in this league no doubt.

It's not some secret everyone knew he's not an elite athlete.
