Why is D'angelo Russell already overrated?

[nathanjizzle]

why? i dont see what the hype is about.

[West-Side]

He is a Laker.
Sad truth.

I hope he becomes great though.

i dont think he will. watching him play, hes lacking many superstar talents. could be very well a mediocre star at best.

He hasn't played one season in the NBA yet. There is no way to properly rate him.

alpha mentality
high praise from elite names/former/current players
#2 pick
#1 level projections
drafted by the #1 franchise in sports history
players "mesmerized" first day of practice
most confident rookie i've seen since kobe
hes already mastered nash type prime english curved passes before entering th eleague
players say he hits them at exactly the right time on cuts/breaks like no other theyve seen
he hit 90% threes in his audition
hes not an ugly babbling buffoon like okafor
hes charismatic
he vocally said he wants to lead from day one.
he said he'l treat every practice like its the playoffs



the kid can do no wrong so far in life. i see great things coming from him

He does remind me a lot of Curry from his highlights.
I hope everything you say about the kid comes true.

We need a need Alpha in LA; aka D'Alpha.
