Rockets interested in Rick Rickert for veterans camp?

Other than Rickert's run in with KG I dont really know much about him. What kind of game does he have?

 

He came out of school (Minnesota) as a sophomore. He was a pretty highly touted recruit out of high school, McD's All-American, etc. When he came out, he was a late 2nd rounder because his game was unpolished and he didn't really have a position (6-11, 216 lbs.). Pretty good scorer, but could pretty much be abused defensively - not especially athletic, and really underweight. Not a very good rebounder. He does have a good shooting touch though, and could maybe be a Padgett type inside the 3 point arc (yeah, that doesn't sound too good).

He is only 22, however.

 

Sounds like Dan Langhi.

 

He should have stayed in school another 2 years. Didn't KG suckerpunch him last year?

 

that's sad, i recall reading in SLAM magazine about 2 years ago that he idolized KG.......i wonder what he thinks of him after that incident

 

Does this indicate Dike's resigning isnt 100% done deal. That will be major let down.

 

Read and relax, man.

Rickert is unproven and scrawny for a 4, let alone a 5. The article talks about maybe inviting him to training camp. That has no bearing on Mutombo, other than he may get in the way of one of Deke's elbows.

 

Looks like Langhi and Darko had a child.

 

I recall there being a big fuss about his recruitment - he wanted to sign for Arizona, but his parents wouldn't sign off on the move - so he ended up at Minnesota? My memory isn't too clear.

 

this guy is the bastid love child of Dan Langhi and Ryan Bowan...

VOTE FOR PEDRO

 

i saw him play a couple of times in college for minnesota and he was okay but he isn't strong enough to play the 4 or 5 and lacks the athleticism and quickness to play the 3. he's a decent scorer and decent rebounder. i don't see him as anything more than a 12th man.

 

Rickert orally committed to Arizona then switched about a month later to Minnesota.
