Mudiay to me is as cerebral and as smart with the ball makes the right decisions. I won't hesitate to say to that he is a better finisher too. While Russell may have a sweet stroke, Mudiay has the better handle and basically can break down any one with his handle with ease. Athleticism is never worthless it's always a plus. |

Don't you ever wonder why guys like Jordan stopped attacking the basket and relied a lot more on his jumpers as he aged? Athleticism is only good for a while. Blake Griffin is actually going through that transformation as we speak. Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

Mudiay may be the best but why take the gamble when you have 3 safer high end picks you get to see play vs better competition every night

I think he had shown enough to make it clear he's got the goods as an elite BB prospect. He's shown the handle, athletic ability, passing and scoring ability you would want in a top pick. It would certainly have been more of a confirmation had he played in the NCAA, but I think he's gonna be a good NBA player. It really depends on the team. The Knicks need everything so really we can't go wrong with a big or guard. I'm starting to think we need to look at the Guard spot because we've been so bad there and we may be able to get a solid big in Free Agency. We need an elite perimeter threat to score or setup his teammates. I'd like Russell or Mudiay in that role. |

Did you ever think what happens to guys without athleticism they become worse also and everything starts to fall apart for them to the point where they become role players or worse out of the league. You want athletic players with good basketball knowledge that is a plus to have. |

Again, I would never waist a top lottery pick drafting an unknown commodity like Mudiay. He may turn out to be a great player, but hey.

If Mudiay turns out to be the best player which he won't then you tip your cap to whoever drafted him top 4.

Yeah, Russell's athleticism will always leave a small amount of doubt in my mind in the months leading up to the draft. I know he will struggle guarding PGs in the league. Will that translate to SGs as well. Also, he's more crafty with the rock than explosive. Does he have enough of a burst to be really good in the NBA? I've seen guys like Evan Turner, Acie Law and Jimmer Fredette dominate the NCAAs, only to get stymied in the pros. Mudiay is tough because we haven't seen him play. John Wall was more developed entering the draft and it took him about three years before he got it. There'd no guarantee that Mudiay will develop the J needed for him to dominate in the league. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

I don't even know who coaches Mudiay in China. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too.
