D'Angelo Russell's reputation coming into the NBA as an incredible playmaker definitely has the attention of his fellow rookies. The NBA's annual survey of the incoming class voted Russell as the best playmaker of the draft, netting 40 percent of the vote, as revealed in the full results on NBA.com.
