The Golden State Warriors must work diligently to acclimate D’Angelo Russell into the lineup. The 23-year old All-Star can be a huge help for the Dubs this season if he hits the ground running.
It is important the Warriors set Russell up for instant success. With Klay Thompson nurturing a serious injury, the Dubs will need D-Lo to produce in Thompson’s absence. D-Lo’s performance through the first half of the season will have a significant impact on whether or not the Warriors reach the playoffs.
Thus far, Russell has struggled. The Warriors have only played on preseason game, but Russell’s troubles were obvious.
