Despite D’Angelo Russell’s first season in Brooklyn being arguably the best of his short career, the Nets point guard admits it could have gone better — and has to get better.
“It could be better,” said Russell, who turned 22 in February. “Yeah, it could be better. I think it’s just learning. I’m feeling it out. Everything I’m doing is new, playing with new coaches, new teammates. Everything is new. So I think it’s a feeling-it-out type deal with me, so it could always be better.”
Hearing that from a player the Lakers deemed immature and incapable of taking coaching is likely music to the Nets’ ears.
