Idk how anybody compares him to Archie Goodwin. Totally different! Russ is a 2 star recruit not a 5 star, one of the nations leading scorers in points and steals. Led the tourney in PPG, doesnt have that attitude that Goodwin has, he appears to enjoy the game alot, and in noway did Russ destroy team chemistry like Goodwin. Russ takes bad shots but look at his avg in the tourney until the championship, his fg% was out the roof!

Russ averages 20 points per game because he doubles that average in field goal attempts per game. He did shoot it well in the tournament until the Final Four, in which he couldn't buy a bucket.

All I'm saying is I think this Louisville team could have won without him. He was the third (maybe even fourth behind Chane Behanan) most important player on this team.

Archie Goodwin did not destroy team chemistry, either. He actually had a good attitude was one of the 2 or 3 players that gave it their all this season. I assure you he was not the problem.
