Sometimes its the organization that's a bad fit for a player. Laker fans already calling him D'bust because of his turnover to assist ratio. Low blow especially after one game. He's obviously a player but I hope the Lakers don't ruin. And Byron playing mind games talking about he didn't know if D'lo would start smh.
i didnt even know he had a turnover or assist
would rather the kid try to be aggressive, go 2/10 with 6 turnovers than that no show last night
wiggins was just as bad, didnt even want to be on the floor playing basketball
Read Nazr's blog I posted a few pages back. Weaknesses withstanding, Russell can't just dominate like we all hope because of the team construction and dynamic.
its not about dominating or even being good, he just didn't do anything. he spends all his time dribbling 35 feet from the basket waiting for a screen to come by only to walk through the pnr and pass the ball off. you cant blame the system for this lack of aggression, sure byron's system doesnt help but great players make plays out of nothing that's what makes them great.
hopefully it's just his first game and once he gets comfortable he will be more aggressive but so far I have not seen it. Even his preseason highlights are mostly mid range pull ups
