Offensive Game
Smart scorer who understands when and how to attack. Three-point shooting is his primary contribution. Does not force.

Career Journey
Golden State Warriors
2022-2024
Ryan is a well-traveled wing — six college seasons across Stanford, Notre Dame and North Carolina, capped by a 31-point night against rival Duke in March 2024. Undrafted in 2024, he spent a year with Oklahoma City's Blue, then opened 2025-26 with the Wisconsin Herd before the Bucks handed him the first NBA contract of his career, a two-way, in February 2026. He made his NBA debut weeks later and, in an 11-game late-season cameo, put up eye-catching numbers — 14.3 points on 52% shooting and 45.8% from three. Read that as a hot, low-sample audition on a team resting regulars rather than an established baseline, but the shooting touch is real, and for a six-year college wing, simply reaching an NBA floor was its own kind of validation.
