If Ronnie goes at 55 I think he 100% could exceed that draft stock.

You know, he was a shell of himself at us.

C I don't want to hear about his stats.

This kid had cardiac arrest, underwent heart surgery and then was back on the court 34 months later, that alone is just unheard of.

I think Ronnie is going to be a good long term pro.

He has a high IQ he understands the game, younger Wings fan than people think he's got great size, not in terms of height.

He's only about 6263, maybe he's a player that guys like to play with.

He's not selfish.

He doesn't come in with a big ego and maybe we're two years removed from seeing him being very productive and being able to contribute to an NBA team, but he could be that role player that teams want and a two guard somewhere down the road.
