Russell said Friday that he will exercise his $18.69 million player option for 2024-25 to remain with the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Russell closed Monday's 108-106 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt), one rebound and six assists in 39 minutes.
Slick and instinctive as a playmaker. Brings size and court vision as a distributor and can make highlight-reel passes. Possesses a nice handle for a player his size, with a wide array of deceptive dribbles and moves. Pushes the ball well, and is a hard-to-guard lefty with a sweet outside touch. Maturity and leadership are major question marks. Still a bit turnover-prone and somewhat streaky. Not all that explosive, and must bulk up to do a better job of getting in the lane to draw fouls and / or dish out. Can make more use of his length and frame as a defender.
Long Range Potential: Playmaking combo guard, with star potential and issues.
