The moment he set foot on the ABA League court, Daron Fatts Russell was making waves, setting records. It’s no surprise that the explosive American guard could be heading to greener pastures.
After scoring 35 points in a loss against Crvena Zvezda in Belgrade, there was a question about Deron Fats Russell at the press conference. The ABA league record holder for the number of points scored in one match (47).
“We found Russell in college. He was averaging 13 points. When he came in, he was shooting long two-pointers. I told him I didn’t like those shots, and he looked at me confused. He asked me which ones I liked, so I told him to move beyond the three-point line. When I explained to him that he should always shoot if he can, I gave him that freedom. He is playing great, I hope he will help us to secure survival in the ABA league“, said coach Mihailo Pavicevic.
He pointed out that Mornar already has an offer from Italy for his services, as well as many others.
“Let me answer right away, it is one of the eight offers that came to me. There are no secrets from China, Russia, or Europe. We are not a club that will hold anyone back. As soon as we secure survival, there will talk about it.”
