The Walter Tigers Tübingen have Nick Russell committed. The American has signed a one year contract with the Bundesliga club. The 24-year-old comes from the Cypriot club Michelin Etha Engomis where he signed his first professional contract last summer after finishing his college career.

Nick Russell was elected as a rookie in the Cypriot league this season to "Guard of the Year". For Michelin Etha Engomis the 1.94 meter tall Guard completed 23 games in the Cypriot league and came up to an average of 12.3 points strong, 4.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists. Igor Perovic, the head coach Walter Tigers Tübingen is excited about his latest protégé:

"Russell can be used in several positions. He is already at the beginning of his professional career, a very complete player. He can score, rebounden, fit and defend -. A good overall package for us "

Nick Russell played in the North American College Football NCAA first for the Kansas State University, later he moved to the Southern Methodist University, where he played under the future "Hall of Famer" Larry Brown. Under Brown, who is the only head coach, of both a college team (1988 - University of Kansas) and an NBA team (2004 - Detroit Pistons) has led to the championship, Russell has developed into an all-rounder. The Texas native knows how to convince not only as a scorer, but also as playmaker and defender.
