Paul George : "ESPN had Russ 70th-80th in their ranking. That's disrespectful. Their opinions don't matter, 465 guys talking crap. Russ is Top 25 player - easy" (alien.top)

I’m just surprised at people saying that Russ was a top 25 player, like he was a Kyrie/Khris/Jamal type of player

Russ was among the best of the best. Probably top 5ish/7ish and maybe better for a long while.

When OKC was winning 3-1 against the Warriors, Russ looked like the best player in the world alongside Bron (Steph, KD and Klay were playing in the same games).

From about 2014 to 2017 or so, the only players on the same tier (after Bron) would probably have been Steph, CP3, Harden, KD and maybe Kawhi… And not all of them would be peaking at the same time.

Russ was really really good.
