Ryan is a forward of 2.01 meters and 25 years what is the PROBLEM WITH THIS just 5 total minutes (one game) of NBA experience before the 2022-2023 campaign. A transfer from three NCAA universities (Notre Dame, Vanderbilt and Chattanooga), the shooting guard went undrafted in the 2020 Draft and is coming off of last season in the G League, averaging 19.4 points and shooting 41.3 percent from three in 30 presentations.

That good production in the development league opened the door for him in 2021-2022 with Boston Celticswhere he also shone in the last Summer League: Averaged 19 points in 22 minutes, shooting 52.6% from three. However, it wasn’t in Boston where he found his niche this season, but rather in his would-be rival: the Lakers.

Ryan seemed to struggle to earn a spot on Darvin Ham’s final roster, but thanks to very good performance in the preseason, that’s exactly what he did. Played 5 games and averaged 8.2 points in 13.1 minuteswith almost a 36% three-point shootingin more than 6 attempts per match.

ONE absolute experton a campus where snipers are not enough and in which they are always highly valued due to their matchup with a LeBron James-caliber passer.

While Ryan is not expected to see significant minutes in the rotation at first, the course of the season could open up opportunities for him, especially if the Angels feel the need to bring a reliable shooter to the program.

ADETOKUMBO: “Disrespectful. Don’t ask me this question”

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:

“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.

To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”

On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
