LONG ISLAND, N.Y. – The Long Island Nets made a bold draft-day trade for point guard, Shannon Scott. Although he’s in the G-League, he’s not without friends in high places.
Scott played alongside D’Angelo Russell at Ohio State during his senior year while Russell was a freshman. The two only played together for one year but fell in the second round of the NCAA tournament getting upset by Dayton.
Scott spoke to NetsDaily about some of his early memories he has of Russell, who while not a teammate is close enough.
“Oh man,” said Scott, laughing.
