An NBA scout on Jase Richardson: “Jase Richardson is the exact opposite of his dad – much less athletic however actually enjoyable to look at. He’s not some extent guard on the subsequent degree, extra of an undersized combo guard at 6-foot-3 with out a lot playmaking. Eric Gordon’s a very good comp – lights-out shooter, scoring-minded, however not taking many threes below Tom Izzo. He’s hitting 40 % from deep, however Michigan State barely shoots threes. Actually, Michigan State would possibly’ve been the worst alternative for his improvement.”
