Kyrie and J. Will were better shooters.

By the way, Deron Rippey goes by Ron Ron.

They're better shooters than Rippey is, but Rippey is just a really great athletic talent.

Numerous people who are scouts who do this kind of thing for a living basically said he was one of the five most impressive players at the practices and at the McDonald's All-American game.

He had one spin move kind of thing.

I wouldn't even describe it as a spin move.

I don't even know how I could describe it.

If you've been on social media, you've probably seen it.

It was one of the biggest highlights from the game.

The thing about the play was it showed just remarkable court vision, in my opinion.

Now, he scored seven points.

He had four assists, five rebounds.

He was 0 of 3 from three-point range.

And the book on Rippy is that he's not yet a great three-point shooter.

He's better than 0 of 3, but he's not yet a great three-point shooter.

It's worth noting he hit three out of four two-point field goals.

And his passing, his passing just demonstrated a remarkable feel for the game, advanced like game smarts and that kind of thing.

It's really hard, by the way, to be a pass first kind of player in the McDonald's All-American game, even though these guys, you know, they practice together for like four or five days.

You're not.

don't get the knowledge of where your teammates are going to be what kind of plays you're going to run it's just it's not nearly the same as you get even you know even like in the blue white game these two guys know each other 10 times as well as the guys know each other at the mcdonald's all-american game uh and i also the last thing on rippy is i want to mention i think it's significant that he was the starting point guard for his team
