If KP is going to draft international players then draft this guy

Dante and Jeff look a lot better than he does…

against ALMOST NO defense.

so the Brits can keep each other company, playing over in Europe?

I understand the need to save money and not pay your first round draft picks, but is stashing Euros every year really the best way to accomplish this?

How many times are we going to hear “…but he could be the next Batum!” when discussing potential imports? It’s almost like the old “we can’t trade this kid away because he’ll end up like Jermaine O’Neal” bromide

He is like mixing Odom and Amare ….. awesome
KP plz pick him

Actually looks pretty good … even though he is playing against midgets for the most part. Better than Yi’s chair I guess. Did not even make DX’s list of top players of his age overseas, though he apparently has declared for the draft this year. Might be worth a 2nd round pick.

can he get his own shot against NBA defenders? can he defend some of the elite 4s in the Western Conference?

I love how a guy runs through drills at the combine for one day, when hardly anyone knew about him before, and now everyone is ready to draft him and calling him the next Amare

I’m not saying he’s not any good, I’m just saying lets see a little more from him in some actual 5-on-5 games before we anoint the guy. Every year there are guys who are workout warriors, some GM gets way to excited and drafts them, and then it turns out they have no feel for the game

Before they fall too in love, it’s important to note that Richards played sparingly in Gran Canaria in Spain this year before eventually transferring to Switzerland to play. He got meaningful minutes there, but the competition was very weak. Said one veteran international scout, “I like Richards a lot, but he isn’t ready by a long shot. That’s the problem coming to an event like this. Our GMs haven’t seen him, he hits some shots, and they fall in love. It gets harder for us to tell them he doesn’t really play very much. They don’t want to hear it.”

grabbing rebounds against people significantly shorter than him…as far as player-talent-inflated youtube compilations go, this one isn’t even that impressive.
beware the youtube compilation…

He moves like a guard and he is built like one. If the Trail Blazers cant move up he is an honest ‘shoot the moon’ prospect.

if hes crap then theres no commitment, if hes good then hes not covered by the rookie pay scale for first rounders

good motor. athleticism, & post moves
is he really 6’10" ?
