i think that Ryan Richards has an nba body. His brain/body organism does not interact with a basketball environment all that well however. He could learn but will he put enough effort into it? It doesn't seem like it.
The guy has overwhelming athletic talent. That is a no brainer. Name me another 7 footer with handles, range, and ups like ryan richards.. the closest I can think of is Lamarcus Aldridge, but I think he's only 6'11.
Richards was born with the talent and ability to do those things and the rest of his game can be fixed by forming new habits and instincts. Basketball iq is largely supported by instincts and skills are supported by instincts and muscle memory. You can't teach a 7 footer to handle the ball or shoot the 3, but with experience and practice he can most certainly teach himself how to adjust to the pace and style of the nba.

The breakdown lanes of the NBA highway are littered with dudes like this.
I just wanna see footage of a guy with his size, athleticism, and stroke... that's it
All you've seen of him is footage, probably YouTube clips. Those are edited to only show the good , not him drifting aimlessly through large parts of games.
You've been living in a dreamworld.
Bonner looks like a hall of famer on YouTube.
Please, I know what a mixtape is. I've also watched him in games and am fully aware of his downfalls. I'm talking about his range, athleticism, and size. Find me a mixtape or anything of anyone who is better or the equivalent in each of those categories. Please.
You say you know the limitations of mixtapes, yet that's all you want to see of this mythical "other" player. smh.
Spurs would be wise to invest a bit more in Richards by getting him a full time tutor to teach him HOW to play basketball.
They did that a couple of summers ago.
Apparently it didn't take.
There is the tiniest chance, if his contract allows, that he could leave his team sometime during the season and join the Toros when they have the first pick of new D-League signings. It's a longshot, but for some reason Richards hasn't forced the Spurs' hand by signing his tender and putting himself on a training camp roster.
If Richards was seriously interested in being a better basketball player, he wouldn't go to Dubai to play.
haha. The only attributes i've defined of his are entirely meaningless until he is challenged consistently and accepts it. The only myth is your perception of my opinion. You can't assume that because I've chosen not to mention what you've found to be your solution that I don't understand your point of view. that's aight though.
