The 2nd pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets’ point guard is having a great season. Russell is playing great to the tune of 20.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game for a 30-29 Nets team that is in sixth place in the NBA’s Eastern Conference.
“He’s hoping to sign a big contract with Brooklyn this summer,” said another source.
“He just has to stay healthy, stay safe and play good basketball. Everything else should take care of itself.”

The Nets resume play on Thursday when they take on the Portland Trail Blazers in Portland.
