Does anyone think Russell is like a 6'5" Brandon Jennings? I don't mean the Shaqtin a fool chucker Jennings, since Jennings averaged about 18pts 8ast since trading Josh Smith and he was shooting over 40% from 3. I think in the NBA you would see a mix of the bad and the good Brandon Jennings with Russell.
+Extremely skilled and creative players who take tough shots off the dribble
+They can both score the ball and make great passes
+Good court vision and passing abilities
+Create their own shots
+Good hesitation moves to freeze bigs
+Both have a lot of confidence in their abilities
-Questionable decision-making (probably can be attributed to lack of talent his team)
-Defensive effort
-Finishing through contact
-Shot selection (again, maybe because of lack of talent on team)

Not really. Most of Jenning's issues come from his being a midget. If he had a bigger frame and was 5" taller, he would be a great player because he would actually be able to finish, and as a result would be less of a chucker.
Reminds me wayyyy more of Harden.
Jennings has really questionable shot selection. Russell seems smarter(basketball wise) to me. He's also much shorter than Russell. He's probably a bit faster though...
To me Russell's midrange-longrange game looks a lot like James Harden's, while his passing and close-range game is much more similar to Steph Curry's. His off the dribble shot reminds me of Curry as well...
In general he looks like a mix of Harden(without the physicality inside the paint) and Steph Curry(without the insane handle).

That comp came to my mind too. But I think Russell is a better shooter (Roy is only a career 35% shooter from 3).

So much more excited about this draft than at the beginning of the year. Glad we are still kind of tanking.
