Why do you think he will underwhelm?
He's got elite athleticism, just short of Westbrook and Rose level.
He's a better floor general than many of today's elite guards when they entered the league.
And he's 6'5" and will get to learn the art of killer hate from one of the two best ever.
Barring injury he will be a multi year all star and with hardwork could be great.
At nearly 20-6-6 as a freshman he was awesome

Just think he'll underwhelm. And that doesn't mean he won't be good. Just that he'll underwhelm as far as what his hype has become.
Seen him compared to Steph everywhere. I don't think a single aspect of his game is on that level. And I think Steph needs every bit of every aspect of his game to be on point to be as successful as he is.
I see Russell as a poor man's Steph and I don't think a poor man's Steph would be all that great.
I have absolutely zero experience or credibility evaluating players btw. And everyone here will tell you that
That's just what I think of his game. Think he's overhyped. That's all.

I don't know how he got six assists with teammates that can't shoot.

Actually, that is his biggest knock. Scouts feel that he doesn't have elite NBA level athleticism.
