But Russell alllows way more shots to go unblocked (miss/crossbar/goal/shot) than his block totals might fool you into thinking. His block totals don't produce positive results.

How many is 'way more'? It'd be interesting if there is an actual number on that. My sense is Russell gives up 2-3 more chances a game because of his size and either losing a battle or thinking he's about to and rushing a clear. To your point that may mean an extra block or two, but I don't think blocks are really the story.
