Not sure he's starter material. Sprads and Pullen in the starting backcourt by conference play, IMO.

Russell lets the offense come to him.  He doen't force it too much and plays pretty good offense.  Defense is pretty bad, he might be o.k. if we ever played zone  :dunno:.

I like this about him.  While his d is pretty bad it is infinitely better than last year's.

As bad as his defense is, Martin put him in late on defense Friday for Spradling. This after Doc got beat about three straight times by their point guard.

If anything, Nick's been better than expected this year and will end up being a solid player at K-State.  JMHO.

I hope so.  I just worry my being impressed is skewed by how awful he was at defense last year so now his sucking less almost looks like he's good.   :dunno:

yeah.  haven't noticed his d as being particularly bad, myself.  think he defends better than he offends.

Russell pisses me off.  He's good, but does so much stupid sh*t that he doesn't get to stay on the floor.  I wish he would stop pissing frank off so he could play more because I think he might be the best option at 2 (and maybe 1) other than Jake.

he hasn't sucked.  average on both O and D.  maybe he just knows where to be.  that goes a long way with Frank.

It matters more if you are there, than if you know where you should have been.

I think i fist pump harder when he nails a 3 more than anyone else. I dunno why i want him around so bad. Also, just when i think Frank is pissed and done with him, he starts the next game.

Rodney ranks much higher on the Fist Pumpability Chart that Nick Branderson does.

Much Higher!

maybe Frank knows the only way he can play and be effective is to maximize his coachability

Is his defense as bad as Dr. Iceman?  WSU sucked, but their guards torched the good doctor at least twice.
