Jordan Clarkson and D`Angelo Russell developing chemistry
Here’s ESPN Los Angeles with an early look at chemistry development between key members of the Lakers’ future:
Part of the reason the two players seem to mesh well is that they believe their skill sets complement each other more than they overlap.
“His mentality is more [to] score,” Russell said. “I’m looking to pass, and he’s in a position to score most of the time.”
Said Clarkson: “We’re two totally different players. He’s an excellent passer and I’m real aggressive and it just kind of comes together.”
The players also come together outside of basketball.
“We hang [out] a lot off the court,” Clarkson said, “so it kind of makes it easy on the court.”
“We just relate to each other,” Russell said. “He’s not one of those real serious vets that you can’t crack a smile around. He’s a young dude, second year, still learning, still growing. Me, the same way. I’m a goofy guy, he’s a goofy guy. So we kind of complement each other.”
