Wouldn't you rather him on the Lakers?
Reading through this thread, I agree with most posts. Nobody really stands out as being rated too high in my eyes. Russell and mudiay scare me a bit in the top 5 as PG's but don't think either will bust. Porzingis has bust potential because he's so weak but most people I follow that have seen all his games love him.
I agree that okafor could be that good stats/bad team guy. But I think his potential is being underrated because he's not an explosive athlete. He's been in the process of transforming his body since his senior year of HS, his conditioning and lateral quickness will improve if he has a strong work ethic.

i have a feeling mudiay will bust. he's not close to as athletic as he's being sold as, and that's his main attribute

I'd rather see him end up on an EC team, but if I have to choose I'd rather see him end up in Minnesota.
The Lakers getting to build around a franchise Center that is great on both ends of the court is a scary proposition imo.

I was a little hesitant about Russell's pro prospects early in the year at Ohio State right when people were talking about his as a one and done.
The only knock on him I have is that he was shut down by the best teams we played. But when you're basically the only good player on the court for your team, it's hard.
He stroke is extremely pure, he has decent handles and passes exceptionally well. His shooting alone makes him an NBA prospect. It will be interesting to see if he makes it as a point guard. He seems like much more SG.
