He was a guy before his time, a 6'7 forward from Providence who entered a league too small to be a regular full-time power forward and too slow to play the 3. I'm not saying he would've been Draymond Green but he would've had a much more successful and longer career had he come along, say 10 years after he did. Certainly you remember Ryan Gomes.
Ryan hails from Waterbury, CT, the pride of Wilton High School, and serves as the only NBA player to make it from the school. After a post-graduate year of school at Notre Dame Prep in Fitchburgm and 4 full years at Providence, Ryan was 23 upon starting with the Celtics.
