Meet John Riek


John Riek has a big decision to make. Hailing from Khartoum, Sudan from the Nuer Tribe, Riek has a similar story to Thabeet. And like Thabeet, he is nearing the age of eligibility for the NBA draft. He has garnered attention from NBA scouts during the recent Lebron James Skills Academy. There are rumors swirling that he would be the second best center prospect behind Hibbert. The kid is already a man and is dominate at his position. There are weaknesses to his game, he lacks an offensive game and needs to play with strength but he is a monster on the boards. It is most likely that he will be heading into the NBA but if Thabeet shows signs of being a top NBA prospect, then it could entice him to be under Calhoun’s wing for a year or two.
