BTW, when I see where Jrue Holliday is at as a player (and he's good, make no mistake about that) and where D'Angelo Russell is right now, I have no doubt in my mind that Russell will be a far superior player to Holliday in about 3 seasons, maybe even an All-Star by then.

I will still be patient and give Russell a pass next season if he struggles but in season 4 he needs to bring it and become an All-Star IMO.

23 is still young. Actually 25 is still young. Most professional athletes, depending on position, reach their prime at about age 27. Obviously the very special ones defy that and the NBA has gotten younger, so perhaps that could be adjusted downward a bit, but 6 seasons is about right regardless.
