Aside from Word, Russell was the prospect who really left an impression on me walking away on Sunday. The 6-foot-4 freshman doesn’t really fit the description of a specific position and at this stage of his development, that’s perfectly fine. He checks a ton of boxes, but firstly brings a highly competitive motor that quickly resulted in bulk rebounds, transition opportunities as he ran the floor with purpose and multiple defensive assignments that he can handle effectively. If he wasn’t finishing around the rim, Russell was rising over his defender in the midrange and burying shots over a contested hand. Simply put, Russell has the makings to be a ‘gamer’ that helps you win games now and especially in the long run as his skillset expands, as he is young for his grade.
