Russell is also looking better than I thought on defense. Very active in the zone. I don't think defense will be an issue with him

Play him at point with a 3 and D type on the wing. He'll have great length at the position and you'd be able to switch a bunch with the wings. He'll be fine on that end.

He is probably lucky he didn't get recruited by UK. He would have been included in those ridiculous "platoons" and wouldn't play more than 20 per game. Good for him that he found a place where he can showcase all his talents to the fullest.

Him and Exum would be a great offensive combo, pretty decent defensive combo.

Although he could allow Exum to be more complacent with his role on the team. Decisions, decisions.

You know I'm a college student, right?

Haven't had tv since July. I had a sweet living situation before, but my roommate got married and so the rest of us had to find a new place. Then my bills practically doubled cause living in the city is expensive. And I don't have time to watch much tv anyway, so it's not worth paying for. Way too busy.

I never thought it would. My questions were really about whether he could ever play the PG role. I thought he would not read the defense and direct traffic as much as he would need to. Looks like he can certainly get there.

He probably couldn't right away, dribble may not be tight enough.

He looks like a very capable playmaker and passer... I'd like to see some more of him in the pick and roll... since a ton of NBA offense initiates with it...

Yah about his defense... looks very engaged and active with his hands, but sometimes falls asleep on the jumpers and doesn't contest. That's very fixable I think...
 
Put him in our starting lineup tomorrow... bet he's better than what we'd get out of Trey and Dante.

I see that, but it will tighten.. I just see him lacking in reading the defense (his individual d is fine) enough to call the right play and create for teammates from a set.
I do think he gets that too.
