Gah...Looks like highlights of 7th grade games with all the white socks and running shoes.

He overplays on D like Beli has. Might as well just work with Beli.

Looks like a fun guy, but we might be able to make the playoffs and still draft him.

actually those are highlights against Euroleage and spanish ACB teams, second best domestic competition behind the nba... i would say far superior competiton that all your hyped hs superstars play against... :rofl:

he got skills on both ends of the floor and you don't lead euroleague in steals per game at 3.7 for a whole season by just overplaying on d...
well, as we got some time til he's draft eligible let's just see how he fares against the likes of kobe & co in the 2008 olympics... :wink:

Why shoud W'stake him and ruin his career like all the other rookies, as we like D league a lot more than our 1st round choices?

let him go to Memphis where he will get some playtime

With 2009's PG class, Ricky could be a top 5 pick.

A white Euro guard....he must be just another Jiri Welsch.

Dude's hyped like OJ Mayo, except he looks to have actual games that will translate to NBA.

Marko Jaric anyone?

I've been seeing youtube videos of this kid for years, but this is the first one that the competition and his teammates actually looked legit. the kid does seem to have a knack for the ball and is a good passer, but it's hard to tell much from a highlight video.

A taller, quicker, flashier Calderon?

read about him in SLAM mag a couple months back, pretty good read about his pass-first mentality. I'm a bit interested in this Jrue Holiday kid. There's been talk that he's BD without the injuries

Holiday played on ESPN a month or two ago, I really like his unselfish athletic game..Didnt think of him as a PG though
