Teon Russell
(Camden, NJ/Woodrow Wilson)

Sophomore guard/forward Teon Russell earns his third Raptor of the Week this winter after leading the Rutgers-Camden men’s basketball team to a 2-1 record and a pair of overtime wins at the buzzer last week. Russell notched a pair of double-doubles during the week – his eighth and ninth of the season – and averaged 17.7 points and 11.0 rebounds over the Raptors’ three games. In an overtime win against Baruch Jan. 14, he collected 21 points and 12  rebounds, while adding two blocked shots and one assist. In an overtime win against Rutgers-Newark Jan. 16, he had seven points, six rebounds, one assist and tied his career high of five steals. The last steal was the biggest, grabbing an inbounds pass by Newark and firing up the game-winning shot at the overtime buzzer. He added game-high totals of 25 points and 15 rebounds, while tying his career high of three assists, in a loss at #12-ranked Ramapo College Saturday. For the season, Russell is averaging a double-double of 15.4 points and 10.7 rebounds. Russell also was the Raptor of the Week this season on Nov. 19 and Dec. 17.
