Need to see more than half a dozen games, but I am preferring the current pairing over those two. Am I nuts?
Nakladal isn't as reliable defensively as Russell I would say, but better offensively. He's showing promise though for sure. His shot is a weapon and he has nice mobility.

Wotherspoon looks like a #5 guy right now IMO. He looks like he could be a better partner for Hamilton long term than Russell would be if he continues to play well.

Both are helping to make Wideman look very expendable. Wouldn't mind Russell back at a decent price but if he isn't, these guys may be the guys replacing his minutes.
