Cascade actually did a really good job defensively on Ries in the first half of their game last week, holding him to just 4 points on 2-6 shooting, but you can only hold someone as athletically and physically gifted as Ries down for so long, and he erupted in the second half en route to 20 points on 9-14 shooting and 10 rebounds. An explosive athlete with great footwork, soft touch, and the ability to power through contact at the bucket for finishes. He’s a good playmaker because of the gravity he has, pulling defenders towards him and finding open shooters.
