D’Angelo Russell’s breakout season last year featured many memorable moments. Whether it was his game-winning shot against Milwaukee, his insane 3-pointer against the Warriors or his performance in the play-in game in New Orleans, Russell shined bright across the second half of the season.
The end result of that production was him setting a franchise record for 3-pointers in a single season. He finished the year with 226 makes, shattering the previous high mark of 183 makes.
The goal now? Break the record again.
During Media Day, D’Lo spoke on Spectrum SportsNet and spoke about why he thinks he can break the record again.
“I think so. Honestly, respectfully, I haven’t played in a system or structure of this caliber that he’s trying to implement. So for me, I’m super excited playing with the ball, without the ball, just playing high-level basketball. You could easily go to a team and get shipped off somewhere and you’re not playing as high-level of basketball as you were playing and you have to recalibrate that. For me to be in this position again, I’m grateful.”
This wasn’t the first time D’Lo spoke about structure during Media Day. It is clearly something that he took notice of and appreciated before training camp even started.
