    Nah Russ is my second favorite player of all time, but I’m confident I can name 25 players better than he is right now, though. 70+? I don’t think so

    He was def misranked. Those ranks are stupid as fuck. I’m not a Russ fan but they put hella dudes in front of him that don’t deserve it. Also, putting rookies in these rankings is dumb. We can only guess what they’ll be lookin like this season. How many first pick busts have we seen? We’ve also seen some late first rounders that were legit

    I’m just surprised at people saying that Russ was a top 25 player, like he was a Kyrie/Khris/Jamal type of player

    Russ was among the best of the best. Probably top 5ish/7ish and maybe better for a long while.

    When OKC was winning 3-1 against the Warriors, Russ looked like the best player in the world alongside Bron (Steph, KD and Klay were playing in the same games).

    From about 2014 to 2017 or so, the only players on the same tier (after Bron) would probably have been Steph, CP3, Harden, KD and maybe Kawhi… And not all of them would be peaking at the same time.

    Russ was really really good.

    Top 50-60 for sure. Not trying to hate on Russ it’s just he has regressed and the league is very talented atm

    If he did the exercise of listing he would find that’s untrue. It’s a good exercise bc it’s always tougher than you think

      WestBrick isnt even a top 125 player. I wouldn’t give up Gabe Vincent for him in a straight trade.

    I don’t know if it’s because they’re friends or what. How do his teammates watch him suck and then just pat him on the back?
