Ryan Richards Goes Off for Career-High 45pts & 27rbs in China!

By Bradley Gains on August 12, 2015

Ryan Richards produced an insane stat-line at the weekend after dropping 45 points and 27 rebounds in a win for Guangxi in the Chinese NBL.

The 25-year-old went 18-26 from the field, all inside the arc, and added 9-11 from the free throw line whilst claiming 11 of his 27 boards on the offensive end.

Richards also dished out six assists in his 48-minute display to lead his side to their third win of the season as they defeated Beijing 95-83.

In 5 games, the former San Antonio Spurs draftee is averaging a mediocre 33.4 points and 15.2 rebounds per game (!) in China’s second division. However, those eye-popping numbers are still not enough to lead either statistical category.

This is how Richards’ season looks so far:

The victory for Guangxi helped them improve to a 3-5 record in the NBL as they sit sixth in the standings at the half-way point in the regular season.

Richards will most likely be on the move again with the season coming to an end in September.

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
