Ryan Richards-NBA & British Basketball Prospect at Future Stars 2009

by Sam Neter on January 29, 2010


Thought it was about time I got around to putting this together! This is 6’10 230lbs, England phenom Ryan Richards having his way at Future Stars U18 International Basketball Tournament last year. He is currently on loan to Swiss side BBC Monthey from Gran Canaria (where he is already making quite an impression).

It’s easy to see why scouts all over are drooling over his potential. For his size, the skills and athleticism he has are ridiculous. He can play in the post or on the perimeter, can shoot, rebound, pass, AND dribble.  At Future Stars his teammates had trouble getting him the ball, but when they did, he was pretty much unstoppable.

Check the video, it consists of every basket he scored at the tournament and shows a little bit of what he can do. I apologise in advance for the crappy angles.

CRAZY upside! It’s easy to see why there is a hype about him. Best U18 I’ve seen play
