NBA Players: 5 Superstars who could underperform next season

#3 D'Angelo Russell

The 22-year-old is already a promising All-Star.

While D'Angelo Russell's recent surge to glory via a 21.1 ppg season, an All-Star berth and playoff appearance has made an immediate impression on the observers, many have been skeptical of his fit with the ailing Warriors squad.

"It’s a situation where I can go in and not worry about being on-the-ball or off-ball or coming off the bench or whatever. I am just being a basketball player." Russell said when asked of his role with Golden State.

The Warriors have been to five straight Finals and even though they lost Durant and Iggy to free agency, the front office managed to keep the core intact. A reinforcement in the form of D'Angelo is most welcomed in an organisation that's craving to rewrite their dominance all over the game.

However, it still remains uncertain whether his style of play and his production will hold up initially when meshed with the 2-time MVP and a former DPOY. He might be returning to more of an off-guard role with the Warriors making his outside shot (shot 36% from deep this past season) even more pivotal in the longrun.
