DeMarre Carroll Rumors

Carroll says he sees it as well. The veteran wondered about Russell’s approach and professionalism before he shared a locker room with him. Not anymore. “Before I thought he was just like a knucklehead. Now, he’s right next to me all the time [in the locker room],” Carroll said. “He’s got a good heart. All these things people said about him, they really don’t know him on a personal level. “Sometimes you can do things and they can blow up in a bigger light than what you expected. I think some of the things he regrets. But I think at the end of the day, him coming to New York, a different scenery, having good vets around, a good group around him, now he understands where he stands in the game of basketball.”
