Doesn’t get better than that. Bill Russell - wow

The image of Bill Russell taking Bunkey dancing videos amuses me greatly.

Russell was at the Pheonix/Seattle WNBA semis. He came in and sat under the basket during the action. I was like, "Who does that guy think he is? Oh, Bill Russell. Fine" Doesn't move around so great any more.

Lol, that would be outstanding!

He’s just thin, he’s pretty lanky at 6’2/6’3. He’ll fill out wherever he goes

Oh ok good. Dunno why in my head I thought he was 5'10 and lanky.

We should all be that lucky.

High D1 players usually are "the guy" in high school and have to learn in college to defer and complement. It's not a bad thing to have a pass-first PG who has to learn how to assert himself offensively, because in some ways that's easier to learn than the distribution skills. Of course some guys just have a meek personality and never develop that aggressive mentality on the court. JC was good at instilling a disciplined aggressiveness. Mike Miller, now assistant coach at Memphis, stood out to me as a high school player for making things happen by sheer aggressiveness. Aggression and tempo go a long way on the offensive side.

To a degree. Though of all positions on the floor, I want my PG to come in being the man. Lead from day one, be able to take over. Not ideal to have to teach a PG to be aggressive (thought it can be done). I like Wong's size, and if it's as Stats stated, his D. He appears a bit more complete all things considered?

Stats this is great work, would love to see more of this in recruting threads moving forward!
