I agree that Russell has become a bit over rated as when he's not blocking shots he seems like he's too small to control the defensive zone, but his shot blocking is still a positive quality.

Kent Wilson does a good job summarizing blocked shots.

Blocking shots is like killing rats. Doing it is preferable to not, but if you’re doing it all the time it suggests you have bigger problems
