Shut up you are bad luck that needs to be squashed. The kid can play and you come on here just to say kobe will love that he passes him the ball. Just go away!
Lakers...draft this kid and get a big through free agency. You don't find big point guards with good shooting and dribbling fundamentals to go along with VISION.
MyAssStings the Lakers have a guy named Robert upshaw that was a potential lottery pick and he's a center. the Lakers got a steal from him. so now these young guys can develop into great potential. its not like we were going to win next year anywase
Joe Nguyen You are probably just watching the box scores instead of watching the actual games. I've watched every second of every Laker summer league game and he is turning the ball over because he is passing to teammates who aren't expecting his passes. He doesn't know his team yet and 90% of the guys on the Lakers summer league team won't be on the actual roster anyways. When the REAL team gets together in September and he learns more about where they are offensively he will start putting the ball where it needs to be so they can score.
He's going to be a star in LA. They taught a calculated risk knowing that there is all this big man talent in free agency. True PGs with great size don't come around often. Smart pick by the Lakers.
+lante07 Only way they only got boogie was to trade clarkson, Randle, and next years first round pick.They might have even gotten greedy and taken Dangelo too. Greg Monroe wanted to win. So he chose a team on the rise, not on the downfall.
GamingEXpert21 I feel you. I don't think the Lakers organization wanted to build a real team around Kobe. They feel he has too much 'say so' on the court, even over coaches. But it's def a respect thing with Kobe. He deserved better from a team that he gave his all.
+lante07 Yea, starting five should have looked like PG: Jordan Clarkson SG: Kobe Bryant SF: Justin Anderson PF: Julius Randle C: Jahlil Okafor This lineup would have at least won more games and could have been more competitive.
When the lakers drop in the top 2 of the lottery pick i was like ok let's get Okafor don't blow this one cause i was watching a lot of Kentucky games and Okafor looks like he can ball but i didn't know anything about russell prior draft night boy when i saw this kid highlights i felt in love with his game this was the best pick for the lakers glad his a purple and gold by far the most talented player in the draft
Yea, the championships should be rolling in this year. I'm smelling playoffs this year. We're sure to lock up a 4th seed and make it to at least the semis this year.
Yep but the key to possibly making it to the playoffs and clinching a 4th seed is that Bryon Scott needs to stop holding back the young guys. Even Kobe said to let the young guys play lol.
1:45 Lol everyone has that moment. DA's passing ability is simply uncanny and when he builds chemistry with the other Lakers during preseason, Lakers are going to really exciting watch. #TipToeingToThePlayoffs lol
That spin on the ball will set a new trend for the future ......Not saying it hasn't never been done , but it seems he perfected it ......LakerNation we Gucci
im just gonna say that before making this video you should have watch Milos Teodosic passing skills from CSKA euroleague....then compare the 2 players see the difference
I'm still not sold on this kid. So people, his athleticism has been questioned. Do you all think he is more athletic than Steve Nash was in his prime? If not, his ceiling isn't that high in my book.
Kenny Morales Definitely? Really? Pat Connaughton of Notre Dame has a 44 max vert, which is the same as Lebron James at his best. Do you think Pat is more athletic than Lebron? Vertical is just one stat. You have to look at other things like agility, acceleration, strength, stamina, and more. When Nash was young he would blow buy guys and he had great ability to change direction. It is possible that D'Lo is more athletic but we will just have to see. If you are a rookie and your name is not Shaquille or Lebron, then nobody should be confident about your future in the NBA.
sessahme I'm not sayin that because of his vert alone he is more athletic... but it'd be almost impossible for d'angelo as a guard to have that vert and be really unathletic in other areas. With a 39 in vert he must have some given talent, so I was just making what I think is a safe assumption
Kenny Morales You might be exactly right. He also might become a great player and be a great fit with Kobe since he likes to pass and Kobe likes to shoot.
***** It's all talk at this point. I'm going to be watching Summer League and I am interested to see how he plays. Justice looked pretty good so far and so did that Turner guy on the Pacers. Turner has a deadly 15 footer and he moved better than he did in his videos. I guess that's one of the factors with bigs is that they might still be getting used to their height. So they still have room to naturally develop. Most guards pretty much stay the way they were in college. Except maybe they improve on their shooting. In D'Lo's case, he is already a good shooter and you might ask your self if he already has enough skill to succeed at the NBA.level. Because the reality is, he probably won't get much better. I think agility and coordination are huge parts of athleticism and Nash excelled in those areas. Nash had the advantage of gaining great footwork and quickness playing soccer as a kid. A similar thing happen to Hakeem the Dream and the rest is history. Another thing to consider is that it is MUCH more common for a good defender to learn how to score (Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler, just to name a few) than it is for a good scorer to learn how to defend. So D'Lo has an up hill battle. I actually hope D'Lo will be a great player but I don't think it is going to happen.
They didn't even need the different camera angles and wires, he got his own
underrated comment
Benedict Arnold YOU'RE A TRAITOR!!!
Aarpn Bokland True
Benedict Arnold am I the only one that gets his name
Luis Mario Hernandez Alot of people don't 😂
He loves to pass. Kobe must be licking his chops right now.
Shut up you are bad luck that needs to be squashed. The kid can play and you come on here just to say kobe will love that he passes him the ball. Just go away!
It sounds like your on your period
Which means he will not emerge or blossom..
Which means he will not emerge or blossom..
Kobe has more assist then Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul Jebbar, buts its non of my business
Lakers...draft this kid and get a big through free agency. You don't find big point guards with good shooting and dribbling fundamentals to go along with VISION.
your wish came true
ricky algarin :D
MyAssStings what the hell are you talking about half
we didnt get any bigs we actually lost one
MyAssStings the Lakers have a guy named Robert upshaw that was a potential lottery pick and he's a center. the Lakers got a steal from him. so now these young guys can develop into great potential. its not like we were going to win next year anywase
his snitching ability, is Top notch he can open his camera app in less than 0.45 seconds. that's faster than any fuck boy we've tested by a long shot.
Best comment ever
😉😂
😂😂😂😂
he just wants iggy that's it 😂😂
Went to comments looking for this exact comment
Yo as a Lakers fan I'm about to die. Our future looks so bright. Bleed purple and gold and welcome Russell.
It's not looking so bright rn. Sorry someone had to say it, I got nothing against Russell.
Joe Nguyen You are probably just watching the box scores instead of watching the actual games. I've watched every second of every Laker summer league game and he is turning the ball over because he is passing to teammates who aren't expecting his passes.

moorreese finally... a laker fan who gets it.... I've bin saying this to all the doubters
.. dude is a future superstar
Not a lakers fan but I'm an Ohio state fan. So no matter where an Ohio state player goes I want them to succeed. No matter what sport
+Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this ..bandwagin though steph is cold
They put my boy Jimmer as the image for the average point guard.......
WELCOME TO THE LAKERS MAN...WELCOME!
traded
LarsonNation42 right, if only they would of known what was coming 😂
M. Barboza traded
Better than lonzo
He's going to be a star in LA. They taught a calculated risk knowing that there is all this big man talent in free agency. True PGs with great size don't come around often. Smart pick by the Lakers.
Yea, glad they picked up ROY GOD HIBBERT. He put up a strong 2 points and 3 rebounds last night. We're sure to make the playoffs this year.
GamingEXpert21 Ideally, they should have made a push for Boogie or Greg Monroe... but hey, I'm not the GM
+lante07 Only way they only got boogie was to trade clarkson, Randle, and next years first round pick.They might have even gotten greedy and taken Dangelo too. Greg Monroe wanted to win. So he chose a team on the rise, not on the downfall.

+lante07 Yea, starting five should have looked like
PG: Jordan Clarkson
SG: Kobe Bryant
SF: Justin Anderson
PF: Julius Randle
C: Jahlil Okafor
This lineup would have at least won more games and could have been more competitive.
I need a Russell jersey
Bronx Porter westbrook
Daniel Richards its about the execution
+Daniel Richards lmao
Bronx Porter
get a lonzo instead
Bronx Porter BURN THE SHIT
Guarantee you he'd get his sleeves tatted by the end of the year with that NBA $
Carlos Martinez He ain't Mexican like you Mr Martinez
Yeah what he said^
Elijah Galindo this nigga
+TJ Duff lol what a call
You were right lmao
Yeah, about that passing game.. where you at?
Los Angelo Russell
I loled hard at "russell has a wider range than kawhi"
Do one on Greek freak plz
When the lakers drop in the top 2 of the lottery pick i was like ok let's get Okafor don't blow this one cause i was watching a lot of Kentucky games and Okafor looks like he can ball but i didn't know anything about russell prior draft night boy when i saw this kid highlights i felt in love with his game this was the best pick for the lakers glad his a purple and gold by far the most talented player in the draft
Okafor went to duke KAT went to Kentucky but I'm glad we made the right choice
+Manuel Madera lol
I see championships coming VERY SOON!! So glad we got a sick point guard. Take that David Stern lol!
Yea, the championships should be rolling in this year. I'm smelling playoffs this year. We're sure to lock up a 4th seed and make it to at least the semis this year.
Yep but the key to possibly making it to the playoffs and clinching a 4th seed is that Bryon Scott needs to stop holding back the young guys. Even Kobe said to let the young guys play lol.
I have heard a lot good things about D'angelo russell's passing skills. I hope he can pick out passes like Manu.
1:45 Lol everyone has that moment. DA's passing ability is simply uncanny and when he builds chemistry with the other Lakers during preseason, Lakers are going to really exciting watch. #TipToeingToThePlayoffs lol
but..HE DIDNT EVEN STRETCH DOE.......doe.
I didn’t even snitch doe
My favorite rookie
Now hes a nba all star
now do a sport science on his snitching ability
+PJ Sanitago You should take this L
+3D Kstxd You can keep your ring
+3D Kstxd Nah homie you're balling, you can keep your ring.
Once he adjusts to the higher level of comp, Dee is gonna be a BEAST! Nance, Randle, Kobe, and Clarkson are gonna have a MUCH easier time of it.
Yea they're balling right now. I think we can get at least the 4th seed this year with the way we're playing.
So who's gonna play PG for the Lakers? Russell or Clarkson?
Onlyrealmusic4life russell duhh....clarkson would make a good back up.
Onlyrealmusic4life russell duhh....clarkson would make a good back up.
Clarkson is a better 2 imo
Onlyrealmusic4life Russel PG, Clarkson SG, Kobe SF, Randle PF, Jordan/gasol/Aldridge
Onlyrealmusic4life russell is the pg clarkson the sg and when kobe retires if the lakers havent traded clarkson he'll take over kobes spot
Future NBA skills champion
bring Teodosic on this pass chalenge, he will own
That spin on the ball will set a new trend for the future ......Not saying it hasn't never been done , but it seems he perfected it ......LakerNation we Gucci
2015-2016 is legit the Golden Age of PGs..but Russell and the mamba? They gone be dope together
+Duke sure bruh
+Erik E well shit u can never tell when somebody gone be a bust smh
Bruh I used to loove this show lol
he doesnt only see open man he also does an excellent passes
"We're gonna see how fast Russel can post a video exposing Swaggy P, WOW 30 seconds!!"
PFF.. one of top play makers in the draft?
This video is from 2015.
AnotherOne_ i think he meant to say top snitchers in the draft jk
Can't wait to see what he does his rookie year.
Bust
they need to compare what Scalabrine can do as control experiment.
Welcome to the Lakers!
I finally see why sixers fans wanted him. 39 inch vert that's athletic they said that the knock on him. That's why the Lakers pick him.
this video definitely raised d'angelo russells draft value
Awesome.
What shoe is he endorsed to
People don’t really respect how good he is.
I miss this dlo
ooohh!!!!! He strecthed in thumbnail doe!!
why not how deandre jordan can't make free throws?
Austin Davis dj improved his free throw a little bit
lakerzzz baby yaaaaay 2 pick the best person in the draft
0:36 think he's trying to say something about Kobe?
0:21
Thats dope.
Dangelo welcome to the laker nation!!! Ur the captain of the next dynasty!!!
I'm happy the Lakers got Russell
Still?
+Basketball lover oh course, future MVP
Look at the player he turned into with the nets . At least the lakers got Lebron now and lavar
Welcome to the fucking Lakers I'm so excited!!!
I'm not
Lakers...please watch this video lol
Alonso Reyes nick young jr
Nick young does not pass like that lol. Actually...nick young does not pass at all lol
Alonso Reyes if Nick Young pass the ball, he would have been DRussell. Not the fastest guy with great handle and can shoot...
Alonso Reyes i think they did. Go Lakers
Happiest day in a long time for me here in laker land
what about Giannias Atetekoumpo
Serhii Barkov YESSS
Damn deangelo amazing they didn't even review his 20pts a game lol that's what I find just as impressive! He's gonna be ROY in the nba.
It's like the host forgot his name at the end.
6'5 39 inch vert, brah you better start slamming when u drive.
He can snitch at a incredible 0:40 that's on par with Tony Parker
He Ain't Even Snitch Doe
Just dropped 27 last night;)
Then he just dropped 39;)
do jjwatt
"that was awesome" "that was dope"
man you need to get me in your lab, i know it's hard to believe but, i can eat 8 chicken nuggets in two seconds!
Does he really have a 39 inch vertical, it doesn't seem like it
he snitches 10 times faster than the average snitch, pulling out his phone in mere seconds
This was a good pick us for us next year laker nation
im just gonna say that before making this video you should have watch Milos Teodosic passing skills from CSKA euroleague....then compare the 2 players see the difference
what about Ricky Rubio
he gone go ham if he in the skills challenge
His games is about the pass but only gets 3.3 ast
came here just for the comments lmao
THE MOTHERFUCKIN G.O.A.T 🥇
And the Lakers traded this guy. Second best lefty in the league
My boy russell future of the Lakers, I guess.
Now he on the nets
I wish he went to the Cavs
Who else was surprised about the Kawhi thing?
Next Rookie of the Year
SIKE!!!
+GamingEXpert21 😳🙈Yeh I kinda missed judged that one
His best talent is to whip out his phone records and suddenly starts snitching 😶
Ryan Ake what swaggy p did was wrong
alpha wolfy I know but he is still a snitch
is he better than lonzo ball?
Jeremy Lin...you'll be missed
-Los Angeles Lakers
Future mvp
This guy looks like steve kerr
"I didnt even snitch doe. . . DOE!!"
anyone else thinks this sounds an alarming amount much like lonzo ball?
I like this kid he can win a championship. if Kobe dozen't mess around and make them loose
he didn't even stretch doe
Why Knicks whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
killerjay47 HA!
+killerjay47 LOL. WE GOT ZINGIS KHAN!!!!
i actually take this back lol, my man the real deal
+killerjay47 The Lakers took this black kid smh, everyone knows those can't ball, should have stayed safe and drafted a white player smh
come on man. I know this is the internet, and people are racist on the internet, but still.
Lakers probably saw this video.
I'm still not sold on this kid. So people, his athleticism has been questioned. Do you all think he is more athletic than Steve Nash was in his prime? If not, his ceiling isn't that high in my book.
He's definitely more athletic than Steve Nash lol. Watch the vid he has a 38 max in vert
Kenny Morales Definitely? Really? Pat Connaughton of Notre Dame has a 44 max vert, which is the same as Lebron James at his best. Do you think Pat is more athletic than Lebron?
Vertical is just one stat. You have to look at other things like agility, acceleration, strength, stamina, and more. When Nash was young he would blow buy guys and he had great ability to change direction. It is possible that D'Lo is more athletic but we will just have to see.

Also turns out to have stunning snitch ability 😂
Lakers.need this D'Angelo Russell , wtf
lol, My wingspan would blow this guy's mind. I'm 5'7".....but my wingspan is 6'5". College ball is about to be fun.
Lol, the Lakers defintely saw this and drafted him
