The consensus among many draft gurus and mock drafters is that D’Angelo Russell will be the selection made at No. 3 by Philadelphia when the draft takes place in a few weeks. In doing some informal listening and scanning of fans’ opinions, it seems like many are in agreement that not only will the guard be the pick, but also he is the best fit for the Sixers, given their current front court.
Draft Express, which is one of the leading services of NBA Draft tools such as scouting and analytics, has put out a number of pre-draft videos on their YouTube channel. Today, they released a slew of more videos, including a handful of videos featuring footage from players’ workouts.
Included in today’s group was Russell’s. You can see it for yourself here, but all it does is seem to confirm anyone’s optimism and praise for the Ohio State product. His jumper is smooth and strong, and downright impressive. There were no rim shots, shots that clanked or even balls that rattled around. He found nothing but cotton quite often.
If you want to really gather a better opinion on Russell’s offensive floor game with samplings in all areas, this less-than-five minute video is worth your time.
