D’Angelo Russell NBA Career

The Los Angeles Lakers used their second overall pick to draft D’Angelo Russell in the 2015 NBA Draft. He became a regular starter owing to his impeccable talents, but found his way out of the team because of external controversies. 

Russell was traded to the Brooklyn Nets in 2017, where he spent two years with the franchise while earning his first All-Star selection during the stint. He was then sent to the Golden State Warriors as part of the deal which brought Kevin Durant to the Nets. 

Russell averaged 23.6 points in his short Golden State stint and notched up a career-high 52.0 while playing for the Bay Team.
