Ricky is the Euro Lebron – meaning they are both basketball freaks. Kids are supposed to be this good so young.
He is only 17 and is one of the best players in europe. Hopefully he continues to develop his PG skills cause he could develop into a proto-type new age PG (a bigger, more athletic steve nash)

I read about this guy almost a year ago on SLAM. Sounded way too good to be true, can’t wait to see him compete in the NBA.

Arno says:
What is really deadly in his game is his stealing ability, taking the ball in the hands of his opponents, coming from behind on the dribble or blocking passes. He obviously knows where the ball will go some tenths of a second before others do.
In the European under 16 championship, 18 months ago, he had ridiculous numbers, such as 30 pts, 20 rbds and 10 ast. I think he came hot for 52 pts in the semifinals.
He is a major player in a league much stronger than the NCAA, playing every week against Louis Bullock or Igor Rakocevic.

i was watching some highlights of this kid. he’s really good for his age, but i don’t think he’ll be as good as the pistol. his jumpshot’s pretty slow, but one heck of a passer. maybe a steve nash, but almost def not a pistol
