Josh Christopher at Rico Hines
Rico has been doing private runs at UCLA for years. He's had everyone from HS recruits and NBA All Stars. Josh Christopher was in the run in the video (Starting at 8:00). Has talent, but needs to see the floor better and needs to be better without the ball. But, it was only one practice, and more importantly what do I know?

If he goes to ASU, I will never forgive him for having me waste 4 mins posting this.
All I see is a teenager that belongs on the floor with NBA players. The kid put up buckets against Lou Williams! I cannot believe how much I want to see Christopher suit up in maize and blue next year.
Scored 23 points in the video, if I counted correctly, starting from the 8:00 mark.
He looks like the guy we'll run the offense through next year, if he comes.
can someone please interpret this: he's 'at rico hines', but 'rico has been doing private runs at UCLA' for years?
translation is.....?
Kleenex is a brand but If I asked you for a Kleenex you'd hand me a tissue.
Rico is a coach but he has been hosting these private practices for so long his name is synonymous with the practices.
i used to live out there and i never heard of him. regardless, thanks for the translation. i was just trippin'.
Your Kleenex analogy has one major, yuge, gigantic flaw - brand name recognition.
The entire world recognizes Kleenex for what it is. A handful of basketball nerds in Southern California know what a Rico Hines is... It was a good effort, though, and the avatar is top notch!
I think it means some guy named Rico runs invitation-only pick-up basketball games.

Isn’t it obvious? Uncle Rico is going to throw a football over a mountain.
I spy Aaron Afflalo and Montrezl Harrell in that run in addition to Lou Will. Any other guys noticed in that pickup game?
It’s in the video description. Quite a competitive field.
Keep in mind that this was nearly a year ago, so hopefully Josh has progressed.

At first I didn't realize this was from the past and was a little shocked this was going on with the 'rona making it's rounds
Brandon Jennings, current Piston Svi Mykhailiuk and KJ Martin.
I used to be jealous of Aaron Afflalo.
Arron. Did he and Jordan Farmar play together? I remember that I would always do a triple-take when seeing those names.

Did I see former Flint Tropic legend Jackie Moon at the rim?
I spy Duke Freshman Cassius Stanley.
We aren't really analyzing a high school player's pros and cons based on what he does in pick up basketball are we?
In my book, him practicing against former, current, and potential NBA players can only be a positive
I don't know about you, but pick-up basketball games are where it's at for me. I don't consider any other criteria.
Hey, it works for football's spring game so why not?

Not even snack choices?
What number is he?
I think he is the African American
i personally would just stay in LA... with the whole crisis thing and things up in the air, better weather, near family and you can train with NBA players
only advantage of coming east is to grow your brand
