Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Ricky Council came out of high school as a three-star recruit and spent two years at Wichita State before transferring to Arkansas for the 2022-23 campaign. The 6-foot-6 guard earned AAC All-Freshman team honors in 2020-21, posting 18.2 points per 40 minutes across 21 appearances. The following year, he was named AAC Sixth Man of the Year after averaging 12.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals while finishing third in the conference in free-throw shooting percentage (84.9). In his first and only season with the Razorbacks, Council averaged a team-high 16.1 points (third in the SEC) to go along with 3.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals en route to All-SEC second-team honors. He also led the SEC in made free throws (173) and finished second in attempts (218). Council improved each year he was in college and has developed into a tenacious, downhill offensive player with the size, athleticism and skill set to excel at both ends of the court. His explosiveness creates easy buckets in transition, but he's also crafty around the rim during half-court sets and has a solid mid-range jumper. Teams can't foul him consistently because he's a lethal free-throw shooter. His offensive game should benefit from the fast-paced, isolation style of the NBA, and his 6-foot-10 wingspan allows him to guard multiple positions. Council has the upside to be a microwave scorer off the bench as a rookie but may have to refine his skills in the G League before making a consistent impact. He could see a similar career arc to Lonnie Walker, who's developed into a quality contributor in recent years after a developmental first two NBA seasons.

Erupts for 29 points
FPhiladelphia 76ers
July 8, 2024
Council had 29 points (9-18 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block in 28 minutes during Monday's 102-92 win over the Thunder in the Salt Lake City Summer League.
ANALYSIS
After starting the game 0-for-4 from deep, Council scored 19 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter to secure the victory, displaying plenty of confidence in his shooting ability. This is a nice start to Summer League for Council, and he'll need to do more of the same going forward to have a chance to earn consistent playing time within the Sixers' rotation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to contribute to rotation
FPhiladelphia 76ers
October 1, 2024
Coach Nick Nurse said Monday that Council will play a factor in the 76ers' rotation, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Council displayed flashes of his talent throughout the 2023-24 season; however, he struggled to carve out a consistent role and averaged 5.4 points and 1.4 rebounds across 9.0 minutes per game in 32 regular-season appearances. Council is expected to play an important role off the bench next season after the team lost Tobias Harris and De'Anthony Melton in the offseason. While the 23-year-old is likely in for an uptick in playing time, he will still have to compete for minutes with Eric Gordon, Jared McCain, KJ Martin and Reggie Jackson.
