COLUMBUS, Ohio -- D’Angelo Russell is having a pretty good 2019.

First, the former Buckeye star helps lead the Brooklyn Nets to a 42-40 record and its first playoff berth in four years. Along the way, he averaged a team-high 21.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 7.0 assists and earned his first NBA All-Star appearance. He’s also a finalist for the NBA’s Most Improved Award.

The winner for that award won’t be announced until June 24 at the NBA Awards Show, but Russell has already gotten his summer started off on the right note by winning GQ Magazine’s second annual NBA Style Showdown. He was chosen over Dwyane Wade and Russell Westbrook, who have become well-known for their fashion sense. Russell is the second player with Ohio ties to take home the award, joining last year’s inaugural winner LeBron James.

For those who want to get a sense of his style, check out his Instagram page.

He’s come a long way since being selected with the No. 2 pick by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2015. He’s gone from the young guy most known for what he posts on Snapchat to one of the best young players in the league.

Now he’ll enter the summer as a restricted free agent — meaning that though he may sign with another team the Nets will have the power to match any offer sheet — where he could have many suitors.
