What has Nets’ D’Angelo Russell playing like an elite point guard

CHICAGO — D’Angelo Russell is playing the best basketball of his life.

And the best news for the Nets is that basketball can get better. A lot better.

“For D’Angelo, the biggest thing is he doesn’t understand how talented he is,” DeMarre Carroll said. “Sometimes when you’re that talented you think it’s all about scoring. But he can do so much for this team as far as assists, talking to guys, and defending. I feel like he’s finding his groove.

“He’s just got to continue to keep playing, getting other guys involved. And at the end of the game we’re going to depend on him and Spencer [Dinwiddie] to close the game.
