D'Angelo Russell watched with a smile as Luke Walton spoke of bringing an up-tempo and fun style of basketball to Los Angeles.
The Lakers point guard seemed to immediately buy into his new head coach's sense of culture, then fielded questions after Walton was finished with his introductory press conference on Wednesday.
Below is a transcription of Russell's comments:
Q: On new head coach Luke Walton:
Russell: I’m a fan of his. He had a great career coaching, playing, everything. He’s been very successful. So I’m just all ears (to) whatever he has to offer.
