    Its amazing that a player like himself can keep himself in the NBA when some of these straight out of HS prodigies can't stay in the NBA as long him. Proves the saying "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard" to be true.

    I predict he'll average 7 and 4 this year - 7 minutes, 4 fouls.

    He gets signed when Spanoulis is unceremoniously dumped back to the Euroleague.

    Was anyone else beside me genuinely happy with this news. I didn't really think I cared much about "Flyin Ryan" but this news made me smile. Good for him.
