Articles about Russell Hicks

Russell Hicks - After a couple of years at Europe's lower levels, and an inexplicable stint with the Lakers, Hicks's playing career ended, and he now works in sales.

Even if [Drew] Naymick impresses, he will not win a roster spot, because the Lakers will not spend on unnecessary, replaceable parts. That's simply because of how big their payroll and tax bills are. The same is true of Hicks, a big shotblocking Canadian centre formerly of Pepperdine and Florida International, whose one year professional career thus far has consisted solely of teams called "Energy" (three games for the D-League's Iowa Energy, then a stint in the IBL with Edmonton Energy). Whatever they do, they're not making it.
