29-112 (25.95%) from 3
25-44 (56.8%) from the line

Scored double figures 9 times last year.

The staff has been pretty solid at picking players so welcome aboard. If he can help in practice and develop over his first year it is a win.

welcome, Ryan! Am I missing something? is he schollie #13 or Isaiah Skinn is a walk-on?

On film his dunks remind me of George Evans esq dunks. If we can get Nick George type production out of him, he would be a steal.

"Ryan is extremely talented as a versatile, combo forward," Skinn said. "He has an outstanding motor and great length. Having played in the French League myself, I know how competitive it is at the U-21 level. As a staff, we were very impressed with his productivity with the volume of minutes he was playing. With the opportunity to develop more in the U.S., I think he has a chance to be a very good player." -Tony Skinn

Can he shoot?

Interesting pick-up and worth taking a shot. Tony knows the leagues over there pretty well so if he sees something in this kid there is a reason he is taking him.
