Role player, should be in rotation for awhile. While his small hands and average athleticism show in his inability to finish consistently, he's shown some progress creating off the dribble and hitting the corner 3. High IQ but far too timid at times(Maybe that should count against his IQ), should say average IQ at least
Think he needs to be on a team where he's free to make mistakes, has tools but needs time to develop rhythm/confidence among other things

Why does the Clippers' mascot condor strangely look exactly like Steve Ballmer

He said he doesn't wanna get traded again. Prefers stability for his family. I would have preferred to trade him but I'm happy for him finally getting what he wants.
Watch him get traded next year

I wouldn't want to leave LA either (especially when Jerry gonna net 2 of Leonard/Klay/Lebby) and he's getting paid 8 mill per. Dude is getting paid peanuts, def makes it easy for him to be movedHe said he doesn't wanna get traded again. Prefers stability for his family.

to be fair, they're his most productive seasons because of the type of teams he's on

He was flourishing with Houston though
Dude still has it, and he's willing to be a bench player too

i liked him, he was just alright though. gordon is better though. i agree he's still good, but he was exposed in the playoffs against the spurs something serious so i can't buy the notion that he's "wasting his most productive seasons." it's just a product of the team and situation he's in.
his career playoff splits are really bad, go take a look

For some reason, I always got OJ Mayo mixed up with Rudy Gay.

Agree to disagree, he was basically an All-Star this season, I'm not going to fault him or slight him because of who his teammates were

that's not what i meant. he's extremely productive and still a good player. i'm saying he's not giving you 22 off the bench for any contender though (i'm assuming that's what you were trying to get at?) and in the playoff teams he's been on, he's been really bad (this is a big negative of the point i was trying to make). was a complete zero against the spurs, destroyed okc though

Playing for your playoff lives, lose to a team which employs a guy with coloured dreads.

What I meant was he's still got at least 2-3 more productive years left and he's going to be wasting them on a middling team, assuming Jerry doesn't go 1996 Jerry on us
Sure he hasn't had a great playoff track record but I''m still wanting to see this current version of him not on a middling team. I don't think that's saying anything that wild. I'm not predicting or claiming that he's going to be the deciding factor on a championship team

BJ from 09-15..
17ppg 6apg 3rpg on 39/35/80 50 TS% 25 usage
Dlo from 15-18
14ppg 4apg 4rpg on 40/34/76 51 TS% 26 Usage
But we only speak in Per 36 with D-lo....so throw it away I guess
09-15 Brandon Jennings averaged 34 mpg
15-18 D'Angelo Russell averaged 28mpg
Also the reason why it becomes a nonsense comparison is D'Angelo's performance is closely tied to how many minutes he got that night. The less he gets, the worse he is. It's why the people who like him have been saying for 3 years, just play him, and stop screwing around with his rotations. Don't sit him for extended minutes because he made a mistake when every team he's played on so far has a ton of mistakes because he's a rhythm player. You take him out of his rhythm (I'm talking about coaching taking him out of his set rhythm), his play suffers.
For any young player there is nothing to be learned from getting yanked off the court when you make a mistake.
As of Sunday, DLo has played about 40% of his games getting 30+ minutes. When he plays 30 mpg he averages 19.1/4.4/5 on 42/37/76
20-29 minutes a little over half his games... He's 12.5/3.4/3.8 on 40/32/73
His offensive rating jumps to 103 in games he plays 30+ minutes from 94 in games 20-29 minutes.
And this year, when he's gotten 30+ minutes, about 1/4 of the games he's played this year (was on a minutes restriction for basically a month) he has averaged 22.4/5.7/6.5 on .458/.341/.706 with 55.6 TS%
It's simple, play the man his minutes, and he produces more often than not.
Not to say he's without flaw, or doesn't need growth. But just pointing out that he's very different from Brandon Jennings or being a different form of Brandon Jennings

Utah currently sits at #4
This is just weird, hope they hold on to that spot. Salt Lake City home court in the first round should be wild win or lose
