I think Ricky's game is actually much more suited to the NBA, than european basketball, and i know i'm not alone with this. As a scorer he will struggle, but i expect him to be comfortable as a passer from day one, with the occasional 5 TO game here and there, but i think the Wolves will be a better team with him from the get go, and even better, as he improves, and he will improve. He's a very dedicated player.

This. I think he's going to come out surprisingly strong. I think the lockout actually probably helped him a lot because he got to play a lot of pick up style ball with NBA players. This is the real psychological foundation of the league, and will prove to be important to his adapting to play here. I expect him to get a lot of steals and a lot of assists. He should also be a ton of fun to watch.
