I have not been this excited to see these two kids share a back court since Eddie & Nick. I know it's early but these two kids have huge potential for us. I loved our back court with Nick the quick & fast Eddie. Russell & Clarkson remind me of them both, but I understand that Nick was quicker than Clarkson & Eddie had bigger hops & defense (for now) than Russell but they all have the penetration ability, 3 pt shooting range, passing skills, fast break ability & are very good modest & guys off the court. That 3 million price tag for (Clarkson) draft choice is looking good right now.
I'm looking forward to seeing them both for years to come, unfortunately I want to see them win a championship together unlike past fav's of Eddie & Nick... _________________ My Laker squad.

That team still couldn't get out of the 1st round of playoffs until Shaq came to town. And it wasn't long before Kobe was the 2nd best player on the squad.

That's false. Their first year together. Sedale was out, so Nick was playing 48 mins a game in that first round against the Sonics, and torched a prime Gary Payton, hitting 7 3's in the clincher and carrying that squad into the second round against the Spurs. One of my fondest Lakers memories that didn't end up in a championship

I understand the excitement, but this is way too early.
This
Edie great defender, great player, but used to be MIA in playoffs
Nick was flash, a joy to watch, but not the most efficient player in the world
They can be someday, I like Clarkson and wish Russel can become the special player everybody hope, but it´s way too early to tell.
I find Randle's hype here disburbing, it reminds me the next coming of Michael Jordan called Von Wafer I think a few guys can remember his hype at LG
Yup. The Randle hype-train is unreal. I'm sure he'll be a decent pro, but people are acting like he's some kind of all-star ALREADY. Not saying he doesn't have the potential, but a lot of fans are jumping the gun a bit too early
The best i could was "maybe" _________________ Starting Lakers Dynasty6.0! NOW!!

Too bad NVE isn't playing in today's NBA.
He'd be unbelievable. His game was perfect for pace-and-space. _________________ Everything. Changes.

Better than 2 guys who could never show up when it mattered the most? If that's the ceiling than we're in trouble. _________________ A key that has the ability to unlock many locks is a master key. But a lock that can be opened with any key is useless.
