The Warriors acquired 23-year-old D’Angelo Russell, a first-time All-Star last season who averaged a career-high 21.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.23 steals and 30.2 minutes in 81 games (all starts) with the Brooklyn Nets during the 2018-19 campaign, in a sign-and-trade transaction at the beginning of free agency. Take a peek at what the Dubs are saying about the young guard and why they are excited to have “D-Lo” join the team:
Director of Basketball Operations Jonnie West on getting Russell:
“Looking at D’Angleo, you get a 23-year-old All-Star who is really coming into his own as a player, and just a great kid who’s going to fit what we want to do… we’re getting younger, which is something that excites us.
