There’s no doubt about it, that I really do believe he’s a good player. But, I am eager to see how well his game will transfer over with bigger, faster, stronger guys who will contain his style of play. Evan Turner and D’Angelo Russell are night & day as Ohio State players on the big stage, and it had taken Turner a little longer to get it going after his 2-stop departure from Philadelphia. It will be interesting to see if Russell lands in the same exact situation, despite having a bigger pool of talent to play-along on the break with Wroten and company.

  The big difference between the two is Russell is a deadly shooter.

    His shots and passes are deadly accurate, I am surprised no one has posted a thread about him going no1 in the draft…

      If Emmanuel Mudiay went to college he could have made a case for himself, but if I have the pick I’m taking Russell over him. I’m pretty high on Mudiay too.

      I consider him a below average athlete by NBA standards, but he will translate. Because to me he is a legit PG, and his size will negate his deficiencies as a defender. He won’t have the problem that Turner had with defenders being able to play away from him, lay off him daring him to shoot.

        He was pretty lost on defense during Conference play a week ago.

  I’m anxious to see him sink a game-winner if they advance deep into the mix.

    They play Arizona on Sunday and they are a tough team. I think the only teams better than Arizona would be Kentucky and Wisconsin.
    I would love to watch Ohio St. advance to see what Russell is made of.

When was the last time a freshman guard at a major college dominated as much as he has?
Because I really can’t think of anyone for a while back.
Steph Curry was similar, but threw significantly fewer assists (plus was at a smaller school).
James Harden also.
I think his style will translate to the pros, because of that handle. He keeps defenders off balance and can shoot while moving.
My team has a good chance of picking first (Knicks), and I’d love to pick him, but I’d probably take Towns over him because I think he has similar upside with a smaller risk. But Russell would def be more fun to watch.

    But 3 ppg less, and 10% worse shooting from 3 btw.
    I challenge you to find someone who tops Russell in ppg, rpg, apg.
    OTOH, Wall was also a super athlete, his stats were somewhat diminished playing for a powerhouse, and he went #1 overall. My main point is that Russell is in elite company.
