Russell is going to be one hell of an NBA talent. At 6'5'', it's highly likely his NBA future will be at shooting guard. His skill set is also much more advanced at the 2 than it is at the 1. This kid has true 2 guard fluidity. He's easily a 21 ppg player by his third season.
Some said the same thing about Westbrook or Curry.
Although it has worked out just fine for them, at 6'3'' both Westbrook and Curry are shooting guards stuck in point guard bodies.
What I'm saying is that D-Lo is a true shooting guard, partly because his size dictates that. He's also got a killer wingspan to assist that. If he can establish himself defensively early in his career, I don't think a Wade comparison is far off.
