    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.

    Resign em.

  9. daboss1849 says:

  10. French 001 says:

    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.
