Welcome Ricky Council IV 

Post#1 » by Negrodamus » Fri Jun 23, 2023 1:33 pm



Excellent first step, elite athlete, good upside on defense, very good FT shooter. Now if he can just get a (stop me if you’ve heard this one before) three point shot, he’d be at minimum a nice rotation player.

I’m glad we grabbed him over a non-basketball player like Chris Livingston.

He's tall, athletic, and strong. So he has a good baseline to develop. It's going to take a great development staff to mold him into a good basketball player, though. Hopefully Nurse and co go to work on him.

I like it, hope we don’t bail before he has a chance to put things together.

We also get access to his dad, Ricky I, and brothers Ricky II & III as a bonus.

Never heard him talk but, despite his athleticism being the thing that pops off, he seems like he has a pretty high BBIQ in this video. Also has a good personality.

I wish, actually just that he spiked heart rates and lulled defenders to sleep so much in high school that the kids called him the IV.

Nurse was a great shooter so I'm hopeful he can help improve our players improve there.

Hope he becomes a contributor at some point so RC4 can be used.

When you get your rocks off by being constantly negative, UDFA can be considered “busts” too!

4 is also the over/under on Ben Simmons games played this year.
always a jump shot away.
