Ricky Council Jr. FULL 2022-23 Season Highlights | 16.1 PPG - 581 Total PTS

Council's incredible physical tools, his explosiveness with a head of steam and finishing at the rim and his intriguing ability to create off the dribble in the half court give him significant upside at the NBA level.
His struggles from beyond the arc (27% from 3), his shaky decision-making and shot selection and his inconsistent defensive awareness have kept his stock in second-round territory for most of the season as his productivity and efficiency have waned, especially against high-level competition.

People forget that besides Eric Spoelstra, Nick Nurse is the best at finding hidden gems.

[@HughMungus4655]

ricky was well regarded coming into the draft by a lot of people something might have gone awry in the pre draft process, but he was usually seen as a first rounder by anybody you would have asked

[@hotshoephotographyco.2903]

Sixers may have gotten a diamond in the rough!

[@hotshoephotographyco.2903]

Plays like a taller aggressive athletic Maxey

Welcome to Philly...

[@jeremiahpyfrom]

Bro? Somebody please explain how he went undrafted. Because WTF!!? 🔥🔥🔥

[@curtevans2551]

[@Peter-nw2vx]

How did this man go undrafted? It seems like he has too much athleticism and skill for that.

[@TtheVibez]

Played three years in college.

[@Closedeyewilly]

​@@TtheVibezthat's the kind of maturity we need on the sixers.

[@Aneeshtheraveyank]

@@TtheVibezdude. There are like 5 guys who are older than Ricky that went in round 1 and there are about 5 more guys that are the same age as Ricky.

[@terryindachat7296]

Listed at 6'5 but measured at 6'3, then he's a volume scorer so it's games he shot 3/17, 5/18 etc, he's a good player but the 3 point shot isn't efficient, defense isn't there, all things he'll improve in the pros but it wasn't enough to get him selected.. I'm shocked he didn't go in the 2nd round.

[@jd3l3on]

nah wichita state didn’t handle him right.

[@luigidaniels6570]

From a Wichita guy who saw him gets first points as a Shockers player, Ricky council iv, will be a rotational 76ers player when season starts and with NBA trainers, a Star 2 or 3 seasons out🎉

[@cocosmiles7369]

Welcome to the City of Brotherly Love, Council IV

[@chrisresuta6675]

Welcome to Philly, dawg! 🐶🐶🐶

[@Aneeshtheraveyank]

He probably went undrafted because of his shot but the good news is you can teach shooting. You can’t teach athleticism or speed or size.

[@penssuck6453]

Sixers finding some gems in the rubble of undrafted players in Council and Marcus Bagley.

[@TtheVibez]

Nick Nurse type guy right here!

[@stevescott3735]

He really is

[@jd3l3on]

but is he gonna make roster permanently. he definitely SHOULD

[@Brandon_Benji]

This is the type of players i wanted the sixers to draft for years and they got him undrafted lol. if doc was still here this kid would never play hopefully nurse gives the young guys a chance

[@Aneeshtheraveyank]

Nurse was the guy who gave Vanvleet and Siakam extended playing time in the 2018-19 season when they won the championship while Dwayne Casey barely played them in the season before.

[@Aneeshtheraveyank]

I think Nurse will give guys time. I think Council will get lost of playing time in preseason and summer league.

[@diverseconscious5262]

Two!! Smith as well. This is what Maury specialize in

[@jd3l3on]

but is he gonna play him? him and smith need contract’s permanently

[@ItzzShazey]

@@jd3l3on we are traumatized because Doc was a coach that didnt develop new talent and only developed maxey because he had no choice. Which is a big reason why he is no longer the coach of the team, the man literally got fired within like 3 days of them losing the 2nd round. Nurse will actually play young talent and thats a huge reason why he was hired. It was Docs choice to not play isaiah joe, Bassey, Bradley and now they are on other teams playing very good along.

[@ESPN_Jordan]

Welcome to the 76ers

[@ashtonportnoy6979]

I've seen enough..... Ricky Council is up next.

[@jd3l3on]

i’m telling u Mussleman played him the whole game. he was the only one played 40 min 12 plus games

[@curtisthomas8025]

Omg this guy is nice he has some hops my Sixers may have gotten a steal

[@LilIso]

Rick ‼️

[@mateusperes6690]

the only reason he went undrafted gotta be teams worried about his 3 ball, i think if he’s a hardworker he could have a smooth jumper in the league

[@Aneeshtheraveyank]

Yeah. That is the good thing. There were plenty of nba players who came into the league as a bad shooter but with enough practice, they improved their shot.

[@Aneeshtheraveyank]

Tyrese Maxey shot 29% from 3 in college but now he is shooting over 42% from 3.

[@darylpryor5635]

How did this kid go undrafted?

[@diverseconscious5262]

He got that jelly and jam.

[@jamescorsey6041]

Yes welcome to philly my dude

[@vntzir7195]

Reminds me of a mix of Isaiah Joe and Tyrese Maxey

[@jd3l3on]

take it personal council and ball the ---out!!!!!!!

[@demetahodges4540]

He is where he is suppose to be

[@diverseconscious5262]

OMG 😱 thus kid got mad skills. Nurse and Maury is about to cook 🔥

[@jd3l3on]

Us Arkansas fans know Council was the top Razorback. him and Devo davis (who didn’t get invited to combine at all-😞😞) Nba stuck on mcdonald all americans and freshman. sho hope he make that roster permanently. he a good dude

[@Closedeyewilly]

Work hard young man. Go Sixers

[@diverseconscious5262]

Nurse is good at getting talent prepared. Tobias got to get flipped into two solid players.

[@jamesjones-ye3rn]

Exact player philly needed

[@dc7236]

How in the world did Jordan Walsh get drafted over him🤔🤔 His ceiling is DeRozan or Jalen Brown

[@jd3l3on]

NbA so stuck on mcdonald’s all americans. Council was the BEST player in Arkansas last year without him they wouldn’t made the tournament.

[@luigidaniels6570]

Ricky has Risen to the top at all his university ball playing,, he will do the same for Phil 76ers.. trust me, I've seen since a freshman year, best bball talent is coming from NC now he's 1

[@jd3l3on]

@@luigidaniels6570 i’m from arkansas been rooting for him since Day 1. first game i said he better than all of them!! He’s a likeable cat 🐱 i just hope he gets that three ball together. want him on the roster PERMANENTLY. Hope he stays hungry.

[@OmaAlkebulan-grace]

Sixers just signed 😳 him 🙏 to a full 4 year contract $7.4 million

[@DM-by5sr]

Everyone looks good on highlights. How many times have we seen good highlights, but they can't play in the NBA. Let's just wait and see before we start saying they're good or how this player didn't get drafted. The NBA is a different ball game. I'm a Sixers fan & hopefully the undrafted players they signed are good.

[@jd3l3on]

He really is good. He’s a crowd pleaser and instant highlight reel if they add anybody to the roster permanently it should be this dude. real talk

[@DM-by5sr]

@jd3l3on he was good in college. I'm a wait and see guy. I have seen this story too many times. If he was that good, he would've got drafted.

[@jd3l3on]

@@DM-by5sr i get that. but that’s a catch 22. had ben simmons hyped up and Drafted # 1 now look at him. same fro zion williamson. so looks like we can’t depend on the aspect of where and if they were drafted. been plenty of busts

[@diverseconscious5262]

Sometimes you can tell, I knew Ben and Markel were propped up

[@jd3l3on]

you right. one thing about Them HOGS z they got an NBA coach he only run NBA offense so that’s a good thing. will see

[@jayf314]

He kinda reminds me of Ja Morant.
