This is fine. 13 points in 23 minutes? No need to panic at all right now. D’Angelo Russell will be fine. Absolutely. Just fine.
He would be a little finer if he didn’t have to share the ball with the chucker’s row of Bryant, Williams (That signing baffles me continuously. Did they not watch him with Toronto and offer him a contract based solely on raw point totals?), and Young. Why even play the guy at all? Just send him down to the D-League to get some game reps in, because at this point, he gets to be a spot-up shooter who sometimes brings the ball down the floor.
At least they brought in savvy Euro (yes I know he’s Brazilian everyone calm down) vet Marcelo Huertas, who can show the young D’Angelo how to be savvy and slow and not receive much playing time.
