Following potential 2015 draftees

All the criticisms you can make about Russell--e.g., can he defend? can he get to the rim? is he athletic enough?--you could also have said at one time about Steph Curry. Somehow, Steph has turned into a really crafty player that's really, really difficult to guard. It's a combination of how quick his release is, how crafty he is with his hesitations, and his off-the-charts bball IQ.

If Russell can do even a fraction of those things that Curry does, he can be a really good player. He's got good size for a combo guard. The question is whether he's got the moxy to do it.

Just my opinion.

Steph's dad was a pro. He was groomed to be one essentially.
 
We also really need a guard who can shoot and who doesn't need 2 picks to get a look. The fact that Burke needs to play hide-and-seek behind a pick for like 4 seconds before he gets anywhere on the floor actually kills our offensive flow.
