2015-2016 NBA Regular Season - MDA to HOU - All-NBA - Harden snubbed - Anthony Davis is broke

[Vincent Van Goat]

My problem with this is, is that this wasn't the consensus prior to summer league. i heard so many people criticize Mudiay for being an "unknown" and not dominating the "weak" CBA.

Now all of a sudden the Lakers should have taken him...

There was a very vocal bunch leading up to the draft saying that Mudiay was always better than Russell, since High School and the USA Summit Games. The bunch were not Laker fans mind you, but guys like awwsome and maybe Osh? were all saying that Mudiay was the clear better choice and player

D.Russell has the type of face you want to punch. And his stupid hair and his eyebrow shaving doesn't help. Im glad the Lakers drafted him and I'm glad NT has already turned on him.

"Consensus.

I'm not just talking on here. I'm saying collectively. Social media, analysts, sites, etc.

There wasn't some overwhelming notion that the lakers should have taken Mudiay. That didn't take off until summer league when Mudiay impressed and Russell didn't.


It's revisionist history at its finest.

It's top performers for each game.

It's a little weird that people seem to care so much about his appearance. Or rather dudes...

care so much? nah, but his douchey behavior is just another reason to dislike him.

someone that calls himself Pretty Tony is probably doin the same type of stuff as d-lo tho, so now i guess you comment makes sense

True, on here the vocal bunch made it a point that the consensus/analysts was buying into one year of college (Russell) and China (Mudiay) way too much

They made it a point to say that out of sight out of mind in the case of Mudiay. They also pointed out that anytime Russell faced decent competition in college, his production suffered tremendously and he struggled

Only dudes I remember questioning Russell was JRS, Crockett and shoeking (I think).

Awesome read here on LeBron calling for Timberwolves Kevin Love to come out every night: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-b...land-s--main-focus--on-offense-175844250.html

really want to see boogie on this team.

awwsome was the most vocal, I got into some debates with him cuz I thought he was being way too critical of Russell

 

[pretty tony]

Boogie would be great in DC but they really have no way to acquire him. Kings probably wouldn't pick up that phone call unless the Wizards offer Wall.

Which would defeat the entire purpose of getting boogie.

Yeah, you're right. Where has he been anyways?

Ever since the DraftKings/Daily fantasy thing went down I haven't seen him

i said the Lakers goofed taking him over Okafor and Mudiay right when the pick happened

DraftKings scammers took his last $150

Insert that Russ pic ***eyeing the MVP trophy

 

[wavycrocket]

When is Jabari coming byke?

 

[pmatic]

In regards to the Russell vs Okafor/Mudiay pick, also have to take into account team fit. Obviously you take the best player when you can, but Okafor and Mudiay weren't as good fits as Russell.
