He needs the ball in his hands if he’s coming off the bench. Even Darwin Ham realized that when he had russ come off the bench, and russ thrived, he was the frontrunner for 6moty before getting traded at the deadline.

If lue is gonna play russ and harden together, then russ needs to have the ball in his hands or else defenses will just leave him open.

Also, you’re just asking for failure if you’re gonna run russ with zubac and pj. Lue needs to figure his shit out.

Still a very long way to go. I’m still seeing Taliban Lue pair Harden and Westbrook for certain stretches for some reason, and Westbrook’s overall fit in this new look is bad.

If Lue keeps playing lineups with Westbrook, PJ Tucker, and a center. No one is gonna look good. The spacing is so incredibly terrible

It will take some time to figure things out. Lineups with tucker and zu were unbearable to watch. When He was with the lakers he shined because of auxiliary players like wenyen Gabriel rui reaves etc he needs guys who play fast so he can feed his bigs or shooters looks
