2026 NBA draft thread

Why do you credit Riccardi for that?

Because that is his actual job.  While Nico was here (first as Senior Director of Pro Personnel and then as Asst. GM), he was in charge of Scouting and Player Evaluation.  The last four or so of his 12 in Brooklyn were as Director of Scouting Operations.  It’s basically has part of the split with Finley and was his area of responsibility under Nico.
