    Yeah..The Grizzlies Director of player Personel Tony Barone sr. was raving about how high his basketball IQ is..The Grizzlies were surprised how good a ball handler he is for a big man..But they also said they’d love to see him become more physical..I heard someone compare him to a young Pau Gasol…

    He’s sick. If a team took him in the first round, I would’nt disagree with the pick. He’s big, mobile, and most importantly skilled. I wouldnt be shocked if Richards produces a career better then guys that will be draft ahead of him. Whoever grabs him will be happy.

    other guys I like

    Paul George- nice looking career ahead of this guy.

    Babbit- Extremely skilled, coordinated and lengthy. Will definatly have a better career then Morrison, Luke Jackson, Joel Alexander and the other american white guys who proved they were not worthy of a lottery selection.

    Late sleepers:
    Charles Garcia- I havent seen much footage of this guy, (show if you got some) but from the little I have seen looks nice for a 2nd round prospect. I believe he lead NCAA in scoring, or he was close. 6’10 and mobile, but not a great shooter

    Lazar Hayward. He can play the 3, and shoot the 3. Jared Dudley is my comparison for him but he may be even better.

    Well,this was a great mix,if he is really that good he will be a steal
    but in youtube mix there is always a possibility that those are the mix of all the good plays he made in his career

    Could be a left handed Rasheed Wallace. 6’11 with top notch athleticism, to go along with inside/outside game, and can even knock down 3 pointers.

    He was really physically dominant over the competition, longer and more athletic. Those post moves and face up moves won’t look as good in the NBA. He looks pretty skilled, though. I wonder how well he shoots the ball, what kind of % from beyond the arc? He could have a good mid range jumper in the NBA.

    Legitimate size, good athleticism and moves fluidly. Nice stroke too! Hope dude gets drafted by a team like the Spurs – they’ve got a good D-league outfit, he could develop really well given he’s only 19. Joel Freeland was in a similar situation with arguably a touch less skill, so I reckon Richards will get drafted.

    Speaking of Joel Freeland I saw him play against FC Barcelona in Spnaish Playoffs. I live in Barcelona currently. Freeland had his way down low with all the Barcelona big men. He looked like someone who could come in and play a few minutes in NBA. he had solid back to the basket game and knows how use his body.

    I think he is more like an Arvidas Sabonis. He was big too and had a great handle as well as an outside shot and could even play some defense. I see him going late first, maybe mid second. But I think he is staying overseas instead of coming over right away. Still has a lot to polish and work on but excellent prospect for the future.

    This dude is not a first round pick dont let a couple highlights fool you on a bunch of soft european players who cant keep up with him. Ryan Richards isnt polished at all he has alot of raw talent but really doesnt understand the game. i see him being a role player for San Antonio learning behind one of the greats Tim Duncan.
