Ryan Richards

6'11 230 19yrs old PF/C out of Finland
I have never heard of him until today on the NBA draft combine the scouting reports says he is skilled left handed player with a nice elbow jumper but he is not a finesse player. I dont watch youtube highlights because thet can be misleading. His only knocks seem to be his basketball IQ

espn insider says.....

well, he's actually from england. he played for a team in spain but couldn't get minutes, so they moved him to a swedish team that didn't play tough competition. right now, he's enjoying the fact that he is an unknown with really good size and a good jumper for a guy his size. he's a long way from the nba, but there are a few teams with multiple 1st round and high 2nd round picks that may take a chance on him and let him develop overseas.

I mentioned him yesterday or

I mentioned him yesterday or the other day in my Countdown and coincidentally there are posts about him coming up everywhere. It's pretty cool. Not that I want to take credit, but some people texted me and asked who was the guy in my countdown. And now he's getting hyped up alot.

his only knock is his

his only knock is his basketball iq?...im guessing you got that fromt watching the combine. sorry but his knock is more then just basketball iq. hes not a very good player yet. good in workouts like most guys from europe should be since you practice all the fundamental stuff over and over again over there

Chill out guys, hes only 19

Chill out guys, hes only 19 years old. But his skills (shooting, and post game) is pretty good for a guy his age. Hes the youngest player in this draft, so he has a ton of time to learn more about the game.

Where he is playing

Some of you have been saying he plays in England, Spain, Sweden all of which are wrong he played in Switzerland division 1 which is about the same as like Spainsh Division 4 so not great he did well in the season but was also injured at the end of the season. I dont think he is a draft pick but to be honest I think he may be better than Daniel Orton. His 8.0 body fat is a great improvement over what he was when he played in france a year or two ago. Hope that helps
