Oliver Rioux NBA future superstar or bust?

[djefferis]

Said it a year ago - I’ll stand by my statement until he proves otherwise.

Hell - might not even be as good as Bradley was…might be more George Muresan.

I’d love to see him down at some mid-major like High Point or any MAC school. Could run the league and get a decent tourney seed. Imagine him and 3 athletic inner city kids and a couple of hard nosed bigs with a decent white boy shooter from the outside. You need 7 kids in a solid rotation to win and their ability to mix things up on teams would be unstoppable.

Was just about to post. Probably has a chance at more playing time. Florida seemed to be out of his league despite his height.

My “Manute Bol” comparisons will ring true 10 years from now…..
If…..

FUCKIN’ IF!!!!!

This freak show gets drafted at all, he will average more blocks than points per game. He’s TOO F#CKING TALL to “play” basketball…..

guys are giving him too much credit with comparisons to past freak shows that got significant playing time in the NBA

tacko fall is his ceiling comp
