Buchanan is a versatile multi sport athlete that impacted the game positively for the Papermakers in Friday night’s matchup. Ryan used his versatile skill set to spark Kimberly early. The Papermakers led early, and in large part to Buchanan’s hot shooting in the first half. The 6’4 prospect drilled three threes in the first half and finished with 14 for the game. Buchanan who is also a standout tight end in football, used his strong frame to finish through contact and shoot confidently behind the arc.

Ryan brought some much needed energy off the bench for All Wisconsin on Friday night. His production was the main reason why they were able to remain within striking distance and eventually comeback to win against Manitowoc United. At 6’3 he has a strong frame which makes him a difficult matchup on the wing. He knocked down a few shots from beyond the arc, but also utilized his size to clean up the glass inside. Liked the leadership he showed to try to fire up his team after they came out slow early in the game.

Kimberly always seems to have a constant supply of talent running through their program, and Ryan looks like a future piece of a winning team. He has a good build on the wing at 6’3 combined with some nice mobility that makes him a threat in the open floor and a versatile defender who can guard a number of spots. Showcased a smooth stroke from beyond the arc and was also comfortable with the ball in his hands handling under pressure. Just a composed presence on the floor who had a sense of maturity amongst the field of young prospects.
