Richard Lu

Hi, I am Richard Lu, a former basketball analytics consultant who has done work to help the Phoenix Suns and Chicago Bulls. My main area of expertise is in the NBA Draft, where I have spent years honing my own draft projection methodology. Most notably, my system enabled me to recommend All-Star Jimmy Butler to the Bulls in 2011. My goal is to provide readers with high-quality analysis to enrich their knowledge of the NBA. I can be found on Twitter as @rvlhoops.

Update as of 8/30/25:

I regret to inform you that I am not putting out a new preview almanac for this upcoming season. Due to changes in my life commitments, I am unable to invest the necessary effort to put out a product that best reflects the passion of my fans. As of now, I am scaling back to only producing one book per season. The draft almanac will continue. I hope this will only be a short hiatus for the preview almanac. Thank you to my readers for all the support you have given me over the years.
