D'Angelo Russell thread

Both Russell and Randle are now 17 PPG scorers. If Mitch hadn't done the idiotic Mozdeng deal, would we be contenders this year?

Ball
Russell
Ingram
LeBron
Randle

Seems as inconsistent as ever, but still a good season overall with more highs than lows. His peak games sure are pretty when everything is clicking for him. Is he really getting to the basket more? His free throw rate would indicate no...still appears to be overly reliant on his three ball falling...

I think if the Nick Young event had not occurred, and DLO would have kept His mouth shut and conducted himself ( say more like Hart or Ball e.g.), then he would still be here with the Lakers.

He has a role with the Nets, will be interesting when it comes contract time what the Nets and the rest of the league will say his value is, wish him the best, hope he has grown up.

13/7/4 for Russ with 9 to go in the 2nd Q. Showing some good speed in getting to the hoop

Just saw a little snippet on NBA TV. DLO looks like he’s killing it.

So I wasn’t home to watch. How did the Nets lose the lead in the first place? Other than being the Nets of course…

38/8/8 on 16-28 shooting, 2-6 from 3, 4-4 FT, and 1 block in 34 minutes. Only 1 turnover today too

Seven 20+ point games in last 12. Two of them were 31 and 38. Only had 2 bad games in that stretch. If he avoids injuries, I see him putting up prime Lowry stats by next year itself. Still only 22. His TOs are down to 2.4 from 3.1 last year. Good signs.

Is that the first time he put up a big scoring total without catching fire from 3? Bodes well for him.

Also given how Fultz appears to have busted, the Sixers really could use a guy like Russell right now.
