Bill Simmons describes D’Angelo Russell’s career: “He’s your buddy that comes to visit and it’s really great when he is only there for one day and by day six you’re like, ah, I’m ready for him to leave. That’s D-Lo,” (Via @ringer / h/t @HoopAnalysisNet )

Cooper Flagg on playing alongside D’Angelo Russell and what he’s learned from him: “He’s been an incredible influence so far of just setting the tone at a really high level. Ever since he’s come in and been around, he’s just been setting examples and just being a real role model. Just playing really hard and just playing really smart as well. He sees the game at a different level, so I think I can just learn a lot from him in the way he’s able to pick apart defenses and just use his vision to our advantage.” Russell finished with five assists in his Mavs debut, and his passing was elite.

Naji Marshall on D'Angelo Russell — "Great scorer, great passer, great leader. Heavy IQ on the game & just hearing him out watching him play's gonna be a true service to my game as well I feel like." (via @DLLS_Sports)
