Meanwhile, D'Angelo Russell is having a big offseason after welcoming his second child and also opting into his player option to stay with the LA Lakers instead of hitting the free market. The 6-foot-3 guard will head into his 10th season in the NBA in October.
Russell concluded the previous season averaging 18 points, 6.3 assists and 3.1 rebounds while shooting 45.6% from the field, including 41.5% from beyond the arc. He proved to be a consistent scorer and also displayed improvement on the defensive end last season.
