As the NBA Draft approaches, presumptive No. 1 pick Ben Simmons will be faced with relentless distractions.
Still, time heals all wounds, and that appears to be the case with Russell as well, as he stars in a pretty amusing new Foot Locker ad with fellow 2015 draftees Karl-Anthony Towns and Devin Booker, as well as projected No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons.
Former Ohio State star D’Angelo Russell knows this all too well.
The second-year Lakers point guard was as mopey as a young millionaire with his arm around a hot date could be when the big screen showed him in the front rows at Monday night’s Dodgers game in Los Angeles.
“Now the real work starts”.
He asks if Simmons has a phone, takes it and flings it into the ocean.
Russell seems to be able to joke about his teammate tussle now that Young and Azalea have broken up.
It wasn’t good judgement by Russell, and it’s not clear how the video got out. Russell would later apologize for the video.
For the second year in a row the Lakers own the No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft, and this year they’ll be looking to add another key piece to the roster to go alongside last year’s lottery selection D’Angelo Russell.
“I feel as sick as possible”, he said.
