Los Angeles Lakers point guard D'Angelo Russell's exceptional three-point shooting has been a significant aspect of his outstanding 2023-24 campaign.
The former Ohio State standout has been shooting 42.4 percent from deep this season, averaging 2.9 three-pointers on 6.8 attempts per contest.
Russell's catch-and-shoot threes have proven particularly effective as a weapon this season, and he provided insight into his improved game.
"Once I realized I'm not gonna get any better as an individual basketball player, I'm kinda just gonna be better at what I do. 8 to 10 years in the league, I've learned where my shots are gonna come," the 28-year-old said during team practice on Wednesday, March 21.

D'Angelo Russell is on the verge of setting new Lakers record
Russell made six three-pointers in the Lakers' recent game against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, March 18.
His final triple of the night marked his 183rd of the 2023-24 season, tying the franchise record set by Nick Van Exel in 1994-95 for the Lakers' single-season record for most three-pointers.
With just 13 games remaining and only one three-pointer needed to claim the record outright, Russell is targeting to surpass it during the Lakers' upcoming home game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, March 22.
