<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Laker_Fever_834:</div><div class="quote_post">If Phil does start Russell, I know he's capable of dropping at least 15 points on any given night. </div> I like Russell a lot, and I can see how many of you want to see how Russell should replace George as a staer. Although, 15 points any given night is a little overrating him though, isn't it? In his entire career, his highest PPG year was back in the 99-00 season, and it was only 14.1 PPG. Russell is a great player to have on the bench, but I don't think they should be messing with the lineup just because George's game has suffered without the hall of famers. The HOF are about to return, and as long as he plays well with them, thats what really matters because that's where he will be playing all his minutes. If he does continue to play at the level he was until this night in Dallas with the 4 HOF, Fox will probably be back by then and I would try starting him or Russell.
