, seriously....
You tube?....anyone. Clips plus 10 minutes of an actual game. The guy is going to be good trust me.
, seriously....
He's actually serious with the Youtube comment LOL
Yes.. Lol seriously. Everyone laughed at me when I said Neal was going to be talented. Lol and he had a 2 minute clip. So what if it's you tube, does that make him a different player? Your eyes are seeing the same thing you would if you were actually there. Anyway Richards will be very good but who knows.
Hey you haven't watched his single game, have you? So how can you judge him?
And anyone can tell me if Dice will play the next season? If he stays, then there will be no chance for Richards to be on the roster.
IIRC McDyess was always planning on retiring after this season.... then there was a rumor where he said he wanted to play next year, but it was followed up shortly with an interview with the Detroit press where he said he hurts after every game and still plans to retire this summer
Dice just wants to see Richards too.
I can't remember, is he ground bound or is he a high flyer?
What's his vert?
Okay...it's 25 inches so he's in the middle but he's a true 7 footer.

So you haven't seen him play a game of basketball, like I said.
Link.You just said you know.So what if it's you tube, does that make him a different player? Your eyes are seeing the same thing you would if you were actually there. Anyway Richards will be very good but who knows.
Is he allowed to scrimmage with the team (officialy)
I know a blog update on MySA said he was working out with the coaches...
It would be interesting to see him with some of the guys.
Infering from what you've said and what has been written I owuld bet he has scrimaged with the guys and the Spurs have a reasonable idea of what they have-
Your coment earlier about the time frame of 18-23 I think is accurate. Look at Mahinmi
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) the Spurs are fairly tightlipped about all things and are not letting anything out about this Kid- wether he is a Ian type (perpetual intriguing prospect) or a contibuting player.
In all honesty I do not believe even the spurs know exactly what they have...With Richards being out of basketball with surgery since being drafted I think the spurs are just now learning about the kids work ethic and skillset.
So he can shoot lots and lots of threes.
He can do WHAT.....
He ain't seeing floor time any other way.
Lifting weights + infinite range =
Hard not to get excited, however prematurely, hearing comments like that from the young man Phila.....but for now, I'll try to just patiently let the situation develop and look forward to him competing for a spot, then after that we can start the talk about hanging his jersey from the rafters.
For some reason, my gut tells me he'll be a little more than a good role player. I really think he'll be a steal for us. Two of the biggest reasons I feel that way: Tim Duncan and Gregg Popovich. If we can develop Ryan Richards the right way and Tiago Splitter improves the way we know he can, I think we can have a nice frontcourt.
So, his best case is better than that?
How terribly disappointing, then.
I'd say he's a combination of Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Jefferson and Blair together. He can play one on five and we'd go 82-0.
In all seriousness, once he's fully developed, I think he can cause matchup problems for opponents with his size and strength in the paint and his outside range. Also, don't forget that he's left handed.
This is what I was thinking. He could wind up like this...or he could be nothing. TBH, I'd but his best case scenario at Lamar Odom.
I noticed the D-League open tryouts are still on for June, so things just might be moving ahead independent of an NBA lockout. It would be interesting to see how things shake out if November and the D-League draft/training camps come to pass without any resolution in the big show.
, and you base this comparison how?
