Future Watch: D’Angelo Russell Basketball Rookie Cards, Los Angeles Lakers – The Los Angeles Lakers selected D’Angelo Russell with the second overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft. The 6′-5″, 195lb guard was one and done at Ohio State in 2014-15 where he earned honors for Big Ten Freshman of the Year, First Team All Big Ten, Consensus First Team All-American and was the winner of the Jerry West Award.

Quick and athletic, Russell can play both point and shooting guard positions. In his lone year at Ohio State, he posted per-game numbers of 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.6 steals.

While Kobe Bryant isn’t ready to give up the reigns of the Lakers just yet, Russell is clearly the heir apparent at on of the two starting guard spots.

Panini America, the licensed trading card manufacturer of the NBA has already released product details for several upcoming basketball card sets. Collectors can be assured that D’Angelo Russell will be a featured rookie throughout the NBA trading card season.

Russell also has a handful of pre-rookie cards released by Panini in conjunction with promotions at this year’s National Sports Collection Convention. One such card is the Black Prizm 4-color Patch #’d 1/1 that sold last month on eBay for $1,399, a staggering price for a card of someone who had yet to play a regular season NBA game at the time.  He also has cards in 2015 Topps Allen and Ginter.

DAngelo Russell’s 2015 NBA Hoops Hot Signatures autographed card has been a consistent pre-season seller in the $75-$90 range on the secondary market. Prices have topped over $100 since the NBA’s opening night.
