Such an underrated finisher and all around player. I haven't looked at his +/-

but it has to be up there. Seems good things happen when Richie is on the floor.

Does Saunders have a shot at the next level?

Europe maybe? I don't know

NBA? No shot. With his skillset, he'd have to be 6'10+.

He’d be fine at 6’8

He'd be a wing at that — & he'd still have to improve his handles, cuz his athleticism would be average.

SinkingQuffa

His handling has improved this year I think. He’d be good enough

He still looks pretty clunky to me in that regard. One of Richie's biggest strengths is he knows who he is.

Yes, absolutely. NBA? Not likely, but there will be pro clubs willing to pay for

Kevin Young has said he thinks Saunders can play in the NBA, has compared him

He's being kind. Skill-wise they ain't close.

Kevin Young doesn’t strike me as someone who exaggerates praise (unlike Pope).

Caruso's a much better skill guard. It's not even a debate. I think athletically & size-wise they are close.

SinkingQuffa

Richie is obviously not where a 7 or 8-year NBA vet is skill wise;

I remember Caruso when he was rookie. And haven't watched him in many years (I watch very lil NBA these days).

SinkingQuffa

Well....they're both white. So there's that.

Kevin Young does think so, and NBA scouts that have visited BYU practices agree.

I agree. But I don't see the Caruso comparison. That's someone who does handle

byubyu

1:12pm

Yeah that's true. I didn't hear the Caruso comparison from KY, so I don't know

PumaFanatico

He looks much better already. More confident offensively. I think people

D and 3. Guys with a motor can be great glue guys on championship teams.

He'd have to be bigger by several inches than he is.

SinkingQuffa

12:41pm

A shot? Sure. A great shot? Well...

Indy Coug

I think he'll get a shot as a depth guy somewhere on a 2-way contract

runnincoug

12:46pm

Yes if he keeps improving shooting and ball handling. if he were 2 inches taller
