They ain't making the playoffs *again* and that's all that really matters. He can take over a game, he can do numbers blah blah blah. Can he win? So far the answer is an emphatic no. I like his skills, not sure how much I like his game. There is a nature/nurture to be had there, sure, but results are what matter.

I think he can probably hit those thresholds but with as much as the Lakers will suck and use their players, I look more at substance than stats. Crawford is a common player but his usage made him seem like more. I'd say something similar about Randle. We will see how these guys look on the floor. I never saw Russell as a star, but now I don't even know how much of a solid pro he'll be.

I dunno if I'd assess him that harshly but yes he has been a disappointment and yes his lack of a jumper still stings. To me dude is still a face in the crowd, yet some people think he is a top 15 player. There are a lot of point guards who could produce the same results he does. The Wiz still have shitty management and he isn't absolving their sins the way an elite star would.

>some bullshit.

His numbers are empty so far but he's still very young. I am gonna chill but I do think he is overrated by many in terms of what he has done to date.

>Giannis: 18-10-8 and playoffs.

That's a helluva line to ask for, especially since we don't know if he is going to run the point again. Neither he or MCW is a real point guard. Kidd may have to fuck around and come out of retirement.

>Jabari: 22-6-3 and playoffs.

Lofty but no reason he can't do it, by that I mean he will have every opportunity.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
