DLo's free throw rate per month:

Nov: 0.10
Dec: 0.123
Jan: 0.196
Feb: 0.33

Obviously a very small sample size so far in February, but I like the progression from him since December. He (hopefully) will never be like Lou at getting to the line, but it'll be huge if he can maintain or improve upon this month's current FTr. With added strength to take hits from bigs and to overpower PGs in the post, he should be able to up his trips to the line, which is one of the few holes he has in his game.

Of course, he has to make the dang FTs...

So long as they don't actually challenge Scott.

Weren't there reports that Miller was a divisive presence (players v coaches) in the locker room? If so, we need him this season.


He's a bit of a lockerroom lawyer. But at this age, I think he's less chirpy about minutes and role.

Much respect to Drew Garrison. He's doing a wonderful job of breaking down D'Angelo's game on silverscreenandroll.

For a "slow footed" guy with no "blow-by speed" or "athletic ability", he's doing a wonderful job of scoring in the paint. And he can kill you from the outside as well.

It's not really a hole. Lou only gets those calls because he flops like a fish.

D'Angelo can't take the paint as much as he'd like and we'd like to see him do because this team has such awful spacing.

Not many people remember Rod Strickland but that's who Russell reminds me of the way they dribble and finish around the rim. Russell has a better jumper and is bigger but the move set is similar.

That's a fair comparison. He's a more juiced-up version of Strickland, but with a better shot.

I remember watching the Bullets when they had Chris Webber, Juwan Howard and Rod Strickland. So talented, but a big disappointment record-wise. They actually competed well against those historically-good bulls teams. Man, that was a fun team to watch when they were balling.

Style wise I see a lot of Goran Dragic.

I'd like for him to have post ups in his arsenal but I wouldn't want that to be his bread and butter; that should be the pick and roll.

I like it that Dangelo is utilizing his size against smaller pgs in the post. One of his post fadeaway was kobe-esque. I'm glad kobe is trusting Dlo too. And Dlo needs to be more aggressive when he's out there with kobe too.

D'Angelo Russell and post play. Those are GoldenThroat's two favorite things.

Very nice. It really shows that cerebral players can get to their spots. He may not have a killer first step, but he uses his body and length well. It's nice to see that little floater working for him.

Larry Lewis is an old MDA holdover.

I'm not obessed with the athleticism and quickness type stuff that many are. Give me a cerebral, fundamental player over athletic any day.

What I love about DLo's game, is that he plays with his brain I feel like. Not downplaying Westbrook but he to me seems like he's playing on pure fuel. I tend to prefer the ones that play cool and collected.

One of my fav Dlo plays is when he rides his defenders hip for a pullup jumper.

Russell would have the 3rd highest points produced per possession on drives in the entire league, behind Westbrook and Curry, and ahead of CP3, if he drove more often. His drive attempts per game are low however.

Can't wait until a new coach puts in modern NBA spacing, and they turn the keys to the offense over to him.
