Magicman28 295 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 He's a guy who has a usage similar to young shaq, is an elite shooter of long twos but those don't result in a good points per shot value. And he can't defend. He can score in the post too man. And his defense has improved. He's only 26 making what Marvin Williams and Bazemore are going to make. Take a team like LA. Hypothetically they want him. Would you do Russell and a filler for him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he can't defend. Yep! I agree but he can be a very good option for other teams that dont want to pay max money on players like mahimi or kanter. His salary is that good. Considering what we call percentage now. I will not be surprise if dallas do a sign and trade of Parson for him and change. Whether is now or later in the season. Im with you, i dont like him here anymore but teams like Dallas, Phoenix, Portland, houston and toronto will be extremely interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Air Gordon 156 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 Remember, there were several games last year when we simply couldn't play Vucevic because he was getting beat so badly on D. I believe a couple of those games came against Philly. He's an above average offensive center, an overrated rebounder and a terrible defender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Russell will still be on his rookie contract for 3 more years and should develop in to one of the best scorers in the league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Air Gordon 156 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 How do you feel he's an overrated rebounder? In my opinion, he lacks the necessary athleticism to be an elite rebounder. This year he averaged under 9 rebounds a game. I know there's several factors involved in that, and I think that Nik is an above average rebounder, but I don't consider him among the best rebounders in the NBA.
