    Get him a contract soon Mitch! I don’t want to see him leave and he seems like he loves playing for his country.

    his “have faith in it”… I really like his personality and the passion. The whole “brothers” talk during the exit interview. I think even if he can’t bring the most desire game performance, he’ll be a great locker room and team dynamic catalyst!!!

    He could be like a Horace Grant, a defensive PF who can shoot the midrange jumper.

    Except Ronny has more energy than Horace.

    Even if he signs his contract before the olympics, he won’t play the olympics.
    We (france) are not qualified for those benjin’s olympics.
