On February 26, , Warriors coach Kerr talked about the new Lakers aid Russell in an interview this week.
Cole said: “Russell can be well integrated into the team because he can pass and shoot.
Some opportunities, James will do a lot of ball handling, Russell can do the pick-and-roll or spot-up shooter role. Those aspects that fit him into the team have been shown, and he played very well.”
Russell has played 58 games this season, averaging 17.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists in 32.4 minutes per game.
