The effect of playing point guard is better than that of the new No. 1 pick! Russell scored 9 points and 2 rebounds on 3-of-14 shooting, but had 10 assists

In the NBA regular season, the Mavericks lost to the Thunder 94-101.

In this campaign, Russell came off the bench. Although he is relatively tough, his effect as a point guard is still better than Flagg.

Russell played 31 minutes, making 3 of 14 shots, 1 of 8 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, scoring 9 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 block.
