The 6-foot-7 inch big man can play all three front court positions and is expected to give MDC a defensive presence and help with rebounding. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDJ is an interesting prospect,\u201d said head basketball coach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/mens-basketball-team-selects-new-head-coach\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Kevin Ledoux<\/span><\/a>. \u00a0\u201cI hope to have him contribute as soon as possible on the court.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Russell\u2019s skills are evident. During his senior year at Potters Christian Academy, he averaged 21.2 points \u00a0and 10.6 rebounds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basketball has always been his first love. Russell was introduced to the game by his dad, Dwayne Russell, inheriting his athleticism<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the father played <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">football in high school and in a semi-pro league. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe put the ball in my hand, showed me the basics of basketball and I just fell in love with the game,\u201d the younger Russell said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That passion is something Russell hopes to bring to MDC. The team will feature nine freshmen including four players who are at least \u00a06-foot-7 inches tall. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDJ pushes me to be a better player and makes the game easier for us to feed off his energy and skill,\u201d said freshman guard Jahmal Abbey-Wright. \u201c[He] is very aggressive on the boards, good all around, and a dominant force.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Off the court, Russell, a business administration major, is a regular college student who plays video games such as NBA 2K and lifts weights. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After his collegiate basketball career is done, he dreams of playing in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">National Basketball Association<\/span><\/a>.
