Ryan Wittman

Ryan Wittman - A good player, but not good enough to meet basketball's highest standards, Wittman shunned the third and fourth tiers after only one year to go turn his Cornell education into money. He is now an asset management analyst, a job which just sounds well paid.

Wittman was covered in the Pacers summer league roster round-up last week. He didn't play very well, though, averaging only 4.3 points per game.

Wittman is a delicious shooter who we just wish was more athletic. He's 6'6 and with a good frame, who scored heavily and efficiently in the efficient yet simple Cornell mode (which consisted largely of "find three, take three", without the silliness or volatility of the Seven Seconds Or Less offense. Great times.) Wittman's stroke is awesome, yet he problem lies in his ability to create his own shot, and his athletic disadvantages (which, in the NBA, would spell bad news defensively. It only helps to be smart if you can also keep up.) As it is, he's a spot-up shooter who doesn't make many mistakes. Steve Novak has cranked out three years in the NBA with basically the same MO, but he has a height advantage that is deemed all-important.

There is a Ryan Wittman fan page called the Ryan Wittman Facts. They're a bit like the Anthony Morrow facts, but worse.
