Strengths:[/u] Great scorer. Rider has the ability to put up 20+ any given night. Amazing leaper. Finishes at the rim with authority. Solid rebounder. Very strong and athletic guard. Improved his defense over this past year. Weaknesses:[/u] Solid ball-handler, but not very capable at creating for his teammates. Shooting form is beginning to reveal some inconsistency. Scout's Take:[/u] Very talented player, but scouts still question his character. His upside isn't as great as it was once perceived. Should go late lotto. Ratings:[/u] J.R. Rider SG 6'5'' 215 23 B C+ C B- C B

JR could have been a great player. But off the field issues/ attitude were always a problem.
I loved watching him play tho when he was with Portland.

One of my favorites back in the day.
Such a waste of talent though. I wonder what he's up to nowadays, he kind of just disappeared.

One of my favorites back in the day. Such a waste of talent though. I wonder what he's up to nowadays, he kind of just disappeared. Post-NBA life In January 2006, Rider was arrested on kidnapping charges in Marin City, California for taking a female friend in his car against her will.[6] He was charged with domestic violence and ordered to stay out of Marin City. Despite this court order, he was spotted in the area a few weeks later. A Marin County sheriff's deputy confronted him, and while fleeing, Rider hit another car. He was arrested in Alameda County in late 2006, and transferred to the Marin County jail after three judges in that county issued bench warrants against him. In February 2007, Rider pleaded guilty to several charges, including felony cocaine possession and evading an officer. He was sentenced to seven months in jail, 120 hours community service and three years' probation. He will also have to complete a drug education program. At sentencing, Rider admitted to a longstanding problem with marijuana; he'd also begun lacing it with cocaine.[7] On January 6, 2008, Rider was again arrested, this time in Berkeley, California after a confrontation between a taxi driver and a passenger resulted in the police being called. Rider was found to be the passenger. Subsequently, Rider was arrested on a no-bail warrant for unlawful firearm possession and separate $5,000 warrant for grand theft issued by the Oakland Police Department.[8] On March 5, 2008 Isaiah was arrested and was held in the Marin County Jail in San Rafael, California. He was charged and pled guilty for possession of a controlled narcotic substance, disobeying a court order, evading a peace officer, providing false information to a peace officer, and driving on a suspended license. On early Saturday morning, March 29, 2008, Rider was arrested in the Skid Row district of Los Angeles for investigation of auto theft and was released from Los Angeles County jail in the afternoon. He was scheduled to appear in court on April 23, 2008.[9] |
