SL Game 2: DAL vs SA @ 3:00cst on ESPN

You're not missing anyone, but...I think you're going to be surprised by Russell's play if you think he can create for himself more than others. I'm almost convinced the opposite is true. It's just that he hasn't been put into that position for a while. I think he's better at it than Kyrie, even. That's not me predicting he'll have a great season, necessarily, but I do think this is the right time, place and role to take a chance on him with.

I have always loved his game even though his mental lack of focus never allowed him to be a true star. He will create for others but he is not a pure PG. He will need help. On this roster I don’t see that help coming from many other places  until Kyrie is back. Also for someone who gets criticized a lot for his fitness, many folks don’t understand the level of stamina that Luka has to keep going at defenses the whole game while being the primary ball handler. Players who are not used to that soon realize the stamina it takes for that. D’Angelo will need help.
