Minnesota was projected this season.
What about Anthony Davis and Cousins.
Nuggets right there v
It's far from a guarantee.
Also Rubio is their engine not Wiggins, who lacks heart?, or Towns. Who is immature

It is easy to by hyper-critical when we watch his inconsistency on a regular basis, while aren't watching the other youngsters regularly. Statistically, Russell has better second year numbers than James Harden, and Harden had better players around him than DLo. Is Harden super athletic or a speed demon? No. Was he consistent in his second season? Hell, no!

Did he improve as the season progressed? Hell, yes! So has Russell, whether or not we "see" it as fans. The idea that he is only "good" when you compare him to other young guards is ludicrous. He is Very Good when you take everything into account.

It will be bright. The question is whether it will even be with the Lakers. IF we keep the pick AND we draft Ball, THEN Russell could be traded. Who knows. I just know that he undeservedly gets ripped to shreds by Lakers fans.

Curry
Westbrook
Cp3
Wall
Thomas
Lillard
Rubio
Irving
Lowry
Conley
Will all be better players for the next 2 to 3 seasons.
Same with Ingram and the wing players in the league.
Wiggins is still emerging into that group and he has always been strong enough.
Clarkson isn't as adept as Lou or Eric Gordon or the veteran 6 men.
Randle is still learning the game.
I hope we keep the young core and develop.
