Yes or No? Rozier >D'Angelo Russell

[Pucaccia]

I think Ainge did better with last years draft than most people think by picking Rozier. D'Angelo Russell was taken number 2 and I think Rozier(16) is better

[Csfan1984]

Russell is a better shooter and more upside.

NO. Russell has the makings of a special offensive player and already possesses impressive polish for a player his age. I like TRoz a lot, but he's not even near Russell's level as a prospect.

Let's not overreact to SL...

I have watch him out here in LA.  He has not shown any polish or maturity. He has been given the keys to the store he he hasn't shown anything overly impressive.

Not based on summer league. Saw a lot of Russell last year.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I respectfully disagree. While careless with the ball at times, he's shown impressive vision and passing instincts and a real knack for scoring.

Too early to say.

so, you are asking cbers to NOT be cbers? what is the SL for is not for over reaction and making wild claims about our players? 

[A Future of Stevens]

During both of their primes, Russell should be the far superior offensive player in every aspect of the game, except maybe driving hard to the rim (emphasis on maybe.) However, people dont really talk about how deangelo doesn't have much defensive upside. So rozier in his prime will probably be much better defensively than deangelo.

However even with this, deangelos offensive upside outweighs Rozier's defensive upside.

Russell >> rozier in their respective primes. However, as someone in another thread pointed out, just because another prospect may be better, that doesn't take away from our players. This isn't binary. Rozier looks like he may have been a great pick at 16. If he was picked 2nd, maybe not, yet he wasnt.

You didn't see a lot of Rozier, though. Because Rozier was glued to the bench while Russell was averaging 13 points per game.

Russell also went off for 20/11/6 and 3 steals in his first SL game of the year.

This is a ridiculous thread.

[LarBrd33]

Obviously no.  Compare their rookie stats.

[alldaboston]

No lol. Russell is a much more talented player and comparing him to Rozier is insulting to Russell. Russell will be an all star in 3-4 years.
