D'Angelo Russell says he's excited about new Lakers coach JJ Redick's ability to challenge players on the mental aspects of the game.
D’Angelo Russell, the Lakers’ repentant point guard who has vowed to be more engaged this season, answered some questions Thursday as drama-free as possible. “The main goal is basketball. I think I do that,” he said. “Obviously a lot of people get distracted from that and everything else matters but basketball. For me, I'm trying to eliminate the distractions that y’all can use against me or say against me. Trying to eliminate it.
But when it came to specifics about a play Redick drew up in one of the first Lakers’ practices of the new season, Russell said he made sure to reach out to his coach later in the day to compliment his innovation. “He drew up a play and I don't even know if it worked. I think Jaxson did a great job of sniffing the play out. And I was on the golf course and I was thinking about it and I sent JJ a little voice note kinda thanking him for putting that out. I'd never seen it,” Russell said.
