Just some one on one, dunks, handles and some fun.
Russell's shot just seems so effortless, it's a beauty to watch.
Anyway, have fun! 
P.S. If this doesn't make them raise him higher than 79 ....  |

| I think Russell has a legitimate chance of tying Kobe's three pointers made Laker record (12). I mean, he hit 8 in that mice in my hair game as a rookie, so it's not unreasonable to assume he will have another game like it. |

Yeah, I can see that. He also has that "I don't give a F" mentality that is kind of needed to achieve something like that too.

I can't wait for the season to start.
Sometimes I think that the Nick Young incident actually helped Russel to grow up faster and be more mature. |

| Looks like he's got the repertoire and the swagger. He must be chasing 24! |

12 3s is also the nba record that Kobe set. And it's been tied by Curry and Donyell Marshall. It just seems like something that can be beat. |

Don't know if you're being sarcastic, but if not... No, that's just his MO... I'm pretty sure he's the one who started Gary Lance. He even changed his user ID up... Used to be Mind Dripper or something like that. |

2k knows how good (and marketable) DLO is. Everyone on this forum knows how good DLO is. Pretty soon the part time Facebook Lakers fans will realize how good DLO is, as well as ESPN, and casual NBA fans.
This kid will be great, and it's so obvious to us here on this forum. He can shoot from anywhere on the court, he doesn't botch layups, he's even dunking more. Kevin Ding even said when talking to DLO, he reminds him a lot of Kobe. And that's saying a lot!
Anyways, great video and thanks for sharing! |

Yeah. He has the "it" factor. A little rough around the edges but he's going to be a star. Now I understand as I thought we'd draft oak last year. You should see Oak in local 76ers commercials. Dull as you can imagine. No charisma.

| I can't believe DLo is 20. And he gets these shots off without a ton of separation. He seems unfazed by it. Impressive. |

He has a chance to be a Harden lite, Harden if am not mistaken also has that ability.
Both have quick releases as well. |

Chance to be Harden lite? I think he's going to be better than Harden.
I think Harden is a good player, but he's a Tier 2 player to me. I think DLO has a chance to be in the upper echelon of guards. He has 7 years until his prime. Crazy. |

Let's hope you are right.
Dude is crazy talented, that's why Pelton said unless he averages 30PPG .. he will be a bust... That's how good Russell is...  |

man... I'd trade everything under the sun to pair D'LO with Towns. What a freakin duo they could be and the chemistry is amazing and genuine.
KAT seems like that dude who will stay in Minny his entire career sorta like KD did before getting traded. |
