roger murdock Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Russ is probably the 7th - 9th best player in the league. Hes a stat padder in that he puts up top 1-3 raw numbers. Is he as good as LeBron, Curry, Durant, Harden, AD, or Giannis? No, but hes clearly in the next level of players. Hes not like Steph where he can take a back seat and make a huge impact. He has a style that requires him to dominate play. Hes not a LeBron level player that can be super consistent. I think anyone who thinks hes not a top 10 player is crazy. Compared to other 'stat padder' type players - Melo, Love, etc...I think he is so far and away better than those guys ever were. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruceb Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Even with all his assists Westbrook does not make players around him better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between being top 3 and top 10 roughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownsDog23 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 If the Cavs pick 2nd and Zion goes 1 what should the Cavs do? A. Take Ja B. Take RJ C. Trade down and pick up an extra lottery pick like ATL last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be just as fine with Ja as Zion if given the choice in today’s game. I do think Zion obviously would bring the national attention. If Zion’s off the board though, Ja is hands down a better player than Barrett. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
