He shot a man, then fired more shots as the victim attempted to flee. What a fall from grace. Overrated yes! But attempted murder? He’s 21. Bail set at $750,000.

Dhamp…the greatest basketball mind in the world. Next to Hubie Brown, anyway.

 He’s always been a very troubled kid, though with his upbringing you can’t blame him for being troubled. He definitely had a chance to use basketball to get his life together but he just couldn’t and that’s sad

 Pretty much.

I hate reading stuff like this and that recruit Zach Brown’s circmstances down in Miami. These kids grow up in really tough environments/situations and they had their opportunities to leave, but they didn’t take advantage and eventually got caught up.  I liked Rysheed coming out of HS, but I never realized just how rough he was around the edges, not as a player, but as a human being.  IMO, this was a kid who needed to get far away from home as possible and stay away.  He needed to immerse himself in something completely different from what he grew up in, but he chose to stay closer to home, went back home every chance that he could and now he’s back, stuck in that barrel of crabs.  The kid is like too ghetto to succeed, same goes for Zach Brown despite basically being adopted by a millionaire.  IMO, if a kid grows up in a tough environment, the FIRST chance they have to leave and to evolve as human beings, they have to take advantage and never look back.
