D'Angelo Russell looked every bit a 19-year old playing against men for the first time when he debuted this season. The rookie struggled with his shooting, making just 40.8% of his shots over the first month. But Russell (as most highly touted rookies do) has started to turn it around as his debut season rolls along.
Russell has shot 46.8% in January, which is just the tip of the iceberg on what has been a strong month. Russell has also made 37% of his three-pointers in the new year, with his smooth stroke finally finding pay dirt with more consistency as he adjusts to NBA range.
