D'Angelo Russell

PG, Minnesota Timberwolves

D'Angelo Russell, like a lot of his teammates, is acclimating to one of the most uncommon roster overhauls in the history of the NBA, as he is ramping up his efforts in order to learn the Wolves’ offensive system.

DLo has some familiarity with it after playing under Wolves assistant Pablo Prigioni in Brooklyn last season, but there are new plays and new terms he is not familiar with yet. The Wolves practiced on Tuesday back in Minneapolis and Russell said that it’s hard to tell how long it might take him to get up to speed. And even though he might struggle a little bit, DLo’s trade to the Wolves is good news for his fantasy value as the minutes will be there and the team will use the rest of the season in order to help the new guys develop their chemistry on the floor.
