Despite switching teams mid-season, D'Angelo Russell still managed to get named into the top 15 point guards in the NBA 2019-2020 season.
The Bleacher Report ranked Russell 14th in a list topped by Dallas Mavericks' Luka Doncic and ahead of Brooklyn Nets' Spender Dinwiddie, who rounded up the list.
In the 2019-2020 season, Russell had averaged 7.0 in assists and 3.9 in threes in 75 possessions. Russell should be proud because the only players in the history of NBA who had seasons either matching or exceeding these numbers are top NBA players James Harden and Stephen Curry.
Russell has opened things up for both Warriors and Timberwolves with his ability to drag the defenders outside the rainbow area.
After the Phoenix Suns did not sign Russell despite the backing of his friend Devin Booker, the second overall 2015 draft pick inked a deal with the San Francisco Warriors.
A move that had Booker reportedly upset with his team, but the Suns was apparently concerned with how D’Angelo Russell would influence his friend.
However, Russell did not stay long with the Warriors as he was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves last February, where he joined another good friend Karl-Anthony Towns. Russell looked more suited as a Timberwolves than a Warriors as he and Towns seemed to be having a lot of fun playing together.
The Timberwolves, however, like the Warriors is not joining the 22 teams who will be resuming play in the NBA 2019-2020 season at the Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
Although, the Timberwolves are at a better place than the Warriors at no. 14, just a rung higher with a win-loss record of 19-45.
With Towns as a teammate, hopefully, D’Angelo Russell has finally found a home as the Timberwolves is his fourth team since he was drafted in 2015.
Other point guards who made it to the list were Portland Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard (2), Oklahoma City Thunder's Chris Paul (3), Philadelphia 76ers' Ben Simmons (4), Brooklyn Nets' Kyrie Irving (5), Toronto Raptors' Kyle Lowry (6), Houston Rockets' Russell Westbrook (7), Atlanta Hawks' Trae Young (8), Boston Celtics' Kemba Walker (9), Memphis Grizzlies' Ja Morant (10), Sacramento Kings' De'Aaron Fox (11), Milwaukee Bucks' Eric Bledsoe (12) and Toronto Raptors' Fred VanVleet.
