    7'1?

    For some reason my memory filed him under 6'9, like Dice.


    I know: great story.

    w/o shoes: 6' 10.5"
    in shoes: 6' 11.75"
    weight: 230
    wingspan. 7' 1.5"
    standing reach: 9' 2"

    that's how he measured before the draft. might have grown another inch since then, considering he's not 20 yet. however, he can be labeled 7 footer.

    He's only 19, men grow sometimes until they're 23.
    I grew an inch in college - which percentage wise is a less-
    David Robinson was only 6'9" his first college game

    However if his epiphyseal plates haven't fused a little rHGH wouldn't be a bad thing....
    (just kidding)


    Richards really sounds intriguing, however I am going to be cautious-
    Ian always looked good -> athletic big hard working- unfortunately he has yet to develop a feel for the game.
    That said the most encouraging thing I've heard aother than his physical measurements is that he can shoot and has post moves..

    Anybody heard any rumors of what the Spurs plan to do with him next year?

    Barring a lockout, I wouldn't be surprised if they let him enter the D-League draft then have the Toros draft him or trade for him so they can develop him without his being on the Spurs' payroll. There is now a precedent for that.

    Actually, DRob was either 6"6" or 6"7" when he enrolled in Annapolis.

    So next year he'll be around 7'1 250 lb. If he has really put on that much muscle he's gonna be scary.

    He is left-handed, right? He reminds me of David Robinson. Actually, spurs need a lefty to join in Manu for the spurs lefty club. We have prominent lefties such as Artis Gilmore, David Robinson, Avery Johnson, Manu Ginobili. Also you guys can add Beno Udrih & Nick Van Exel to the club. Hope he can be in the roster next year. Any prominent spurs are lefty that I don't mentioned?

    Will he be playing center or power foward? He's a mix of dirk,Garnett, and bosh.

    Not sure about Splitter at this point, but I can't wait to see this kid in action whenever they call him up.

    Easy now! He'll most likely start at center next season. For the toros.
    Yes I know that but with his weight and height changing what position. But I doubt he'll play for the toros, we need him. Bonner, Blair, and mcdysse are awful.

    Richards is a power forward, he can play at center simply because he's so frickin' big. But if he comes good then a 7'1" PF... scary for opposition defenders

    I cannot remember a player with so much expected and yet nobody could tell you anything about his game..pretty funny

    His size is about all he's got going for him right now...Hopefully his skill level is not far behind

    No summer league and a likely shortened season? I think that raises the chances that Richards is allowed into the D-League draft.

    I feel that the Spurs should just sign him to a multi-year low paying deal. This way they can send him to the D-League for the full two years if needed and even if he sucks his potential and cheap price tag could be easily moved.
    Why do that if they don't have to sign him at all and still have him play for the Toros? After covering his medical costs and rehab this year and knowing he doesn't want to go back to Europe, it may be possible.

    Great question. I'd have to look back at the CBA, but offhand I can't think of anything that would keep it from having a season with only D-League players -- but there might be a drop in quality of the players who choose to participate.
