D’Angelo Russell received a clear message from Lakers’ leaders during his exit interview on Tuesday.
They wanted to see him improve his consistency, his leadership and his body.
“I wouldn’t say I played bad, but I looked throughout the season, I would say I was inconsistent at times,” Russell said. “Just in the exit interview that was the main focus, being consistent. The best thing about that is I can control that. I can control how much work I put in for me to be consistent. I know how hard I worked last summer and I saw the outcome of that for this year.
