Young lefty combo guard. Smooth, elite finisher. Nice catch and shoot guy from 3, and nice midrange off the bounce. Believe he's more of a 2 guard than point so a little undersized. Could be a candidate to go back to school but definitely worth a pick. Baby Cuttino Mobley, Mini Dlo

Jase Richardson High End: mini–Rip Hamilton/Joe Dumars Low End: Landry Shamet Median outcome: Miles McBride/Grayson Allen Pros: Interior scoring, tough shotmaking, motor, playmaking Cons: Athleticism, size, shot consistency Verdict: Son of high-flyer Jason Richardson, Jase doesn’t have his dad’s athleticism but makes up for it by being a savvy three level scorer off-ball while also developing on-ball skills. He has displayed good feel as a playmaker as his usage continues to rise as the season progresses, but he is still not good enough to be a lead guard on offense more so as a secondary playmaker. Despite his uncanny ability to score off screens with tough shots, he needs more consistency as an outside shooter. Jase is a dog on defense who actively hounds players with his effort, making him much larger than his actual size, but he is still limited by his size on both sides of the ball. Overall, Jase is a high floor prospect who has shown ability to be a contributor on low/high usage and projects to be pluggable player even at his young age.

Quick and athletic, Richardson has all the physical tools to be a 1st round pick. He can also shoot the three pretty well. He's impressed me during the tournament with his craft and ability to playmake and score at the rim.

Grit and Grind style PG
Very efficient
Would like to see how he plays in a bigger offensive roll
With the roll he is currently in some of his teammates tend to overshadow him
Safe pick but upside seems to be limited
Comp: Mike Conley / Kyle Lowry / Isiah Thomas
Ceiling: Borderline ALL-NBA
Floor: Bench
Expectation: Borderline ALL-STAR
What to Expect: Same kind of career as my first two comps for him

His efficiency is impressive. Was impressed to see a freshman guard with finishing numbers like that in the Big 10. Guard who can finish at the rim while creating his own shot. That's an elite skillset that isn't easy to find, and probably a big reason why he's ranked so high despite modest production (12PPG).
Reminds me of CJ McCollum the way he's effective in so many places and in so many different shot types. Sneaky athletic, but not reliant on it.

Small, not a true PG either but a lot of qualities to like, same as VJ Edgecombe. He's really a do it all on offense. Will be a good player in the league, could also be a surprise star.

Richardson egy nyers 6-4-es atléta gyors első lépéssel és jó gyűrű alatti képességekkel. Nem ugyanolyan szintű zsákoló es befejező mint apja, de fejlődésének ezen szakaszában inkább természetes dobó és pontszerző. Védekezése teljesen átlagos de szeret horgászni amit viszont szépen szokott korigálni robbanékonysága miatt.
