D’Angelo Russell admits that his time with the Timberwolves all that positive. The point guard says that Minnesota put him in box which hurt his confidence.
It went to the point where Russell had to scrimmage with the bench players that don’t get much playing time. Despite the situation, the player says that he would have loved to stay in Minnesota.
Via Sam Amick of The Athletic:
“Oh, you saw that? Yeah, so I would play in that because I felt that my confidence was being taken away with the style that I was playing in. I’m a killer, man. I’m a bird that needs to fly, and I couldn’t really fly there. They put me in a box that I was successful in … but I did that for confidence. I enjoy just playing, and I would play some of my best games in that (run), because I didn’t really have a rhythm (in the real games). I had to kind of cater to guys. And respectfully, I was with it because we were winning. But I know what type of player I am.”
