I was a little hesitant about Russell's pro prospects early in the year at Ohio State right when people were talking about his as a one and done.

The only knock on him I have is that he was shut down by the best teams we played. But when you're basically the only good player on the court for your team, it's hard.

He stroke is extremely pure, he has decent handles and passes exceptionally well. His shooting alone makes him an NBA prospect. It will be interesting to see if he makes it as a point guard. He seems like much more SG.

Sounds like a modern PG who needs to work on his handle a bit.

I like Russell a lot, with his size, jump shot, and passing ability agree there is very little bust potential. But he has questions- defense, ok athlete who doesn't get to the rim/free throw line as much as you'd like. I had to nitpick to include him, if he was projected just a few spots lower I wouldn't see an issue.
