Ryan is a tough player who is a sound and fundamental player. A slasher who can knockdown the perimeter jumper, get to the basket and finish and plays a physical game, strong in the block. A hard worker, Ryan plays great defense on the perimeter and in the post. He is an intelligent individual (graduated with a masters degree) who brings that understanding to the court as well with solid knowledge of how to play the game. An asset to any team that he is a part of.
