The real problem is yall drafted russell, who's more interested being a socialite than working on his game. Combine that with the fact you have Okafor, Prizpinkis looking like franchise players.
I'm getting tired of this narrative. If Okafor was on this year Lakers team it'd be the other way around. As well as Porzingis, PZ would have not been a starter from the gate with BScott old ways of thinking he would've sat the Euro because that's the way of old. Okafor would not be getting 13+ shots a night and defense wise next to Randle it would be horrific.And Russ would be thriving on the Sixers where he'd have the ultimate green light to constantly have the ball in his hands on O not havingto give up the rock soon as he hits half court to move without the ball. SI already had an article on how Russell is being used nowhere near to how he should be and still playing well despite that. And he still one of 5 rooks scoring in double figures a night (on the least amount of playing time of the 5).
Niggas check the Lakers box score and throw context all the way out the window. All four top picks are playing well. Different situations obviously gonna affect statistics.
