The Los Angeles Lakers’ backcourt pairing of D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves has been one that has brought plenty of success to the team over the last couple of years. But so far this season, Russell has struggled to get going coming off his best season as a Laker last year.
After breaking the Lakers’ single-season record for 3-pointers last year, Russell’s shot is not falling right now. He is averaging just 12 points per game while shooting just 37.5% from the field and 29.2% from deep, both career-low marks.
But Reaves has full belief in Russell to get his shot going and turn around what has been a disappointing start to the season.
