I've been holding off because, well jinx. But Russ has been excellent the last 7 games since the back to back disasters vs Toronto and SA. Not coincidentally also when he took the tape of 2 dislocated fingers on his shooting hand.

The TOs still need to come down, or assists go up, better from 3 would be good, but realistically less 3's is the better option. Him and JH are figuring it out faster than I thought, these 2 had the biggest adjustments to make of all the "Big 2's" joining each other. IMO
The Rockets are letting him run the offense more, and oddly him and McLemore are a great fit together. Him running the break with shooters (PJ and Ben) sprinting to the corners to give him space is pretty fun to watch.
3-22 and 0-8 from 3 incoming now.
