With the 2nd pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Ohio state guard D’Angelo Russell in hopes that he would one day become the face of the franchise.
In college, Russell was highly coveted due to his offensive talent, evidenced by the fact that he averaged an impressive 19.3 points per game in his first and only college season.
What really set Russell apart from other prospects in the draft was his ability to shoot the ball from three-point range. He shot a respectable 41% from beyond the arc while attempting just under seven per game.
