Some say the bounce pass is a lost art. You know who disagrees? Ohio State freshman D’Angelo Russell.
A habitual thrower of ridiculous passes, Russell hit a cutting Sam Thompson in stride on his way to the hoop, and has to be one of the prettiest passes you’ll see all year in college basketball. The assist was one of six on the night for the Russell, who also poured in 33 points and grabbed seven rebounds in a 69-67 Ohio State victory over Northwestern.
Scouts around the NBA are taking notice of this talented freshman, who is projected by many to go in the top 10 of this year’s draft. If he keeps making plays like this, there’s no reason he can’t keep climbing up the board into the top five.
