Russo-Nance last season

While Dontae Russo-Nance may be new to the United States, he is not new to playing high-level ball. He played in the New Zealand NBL last season for the Aukland Tuatara.

The 6-foot-4 guard finished top ten in assists (4.4) and led the league in steals (2.9). As a 16-year-old playing in a professional league, he also averaged 15.4 points and 4.7 rebounds in helping to lead his team to the championship game.
