The recruit of Michigan State Jase Richardson, a choice of projected lottery, will enter the draft of the NBA 2025, he told ESPN on Tuesday.
“I am incredibly grateful to my teammates and coaches for the season we have had,” Richardson told ESPN. “After having evaluated everything with my family, it was the best decision for me. We had so many incredible moments as a team. Even if we did not go as far as I had hoped in the NCAA tournament, that’s exactly how I wanted my first year to happen. Winning the Big Ten championship and doing the Elite Eight for the first time since 2019.”
Richardson, prospect No. 13 in the projections of the NBA recovery of ESPN, was appointed to the All-Freshman team of Big Ten and the third team of all the conferences after an average of 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, drawing 41% for 3.
The 19 -year -old found another equipment with his productivity over the season, especially after being inserted into the departure range of Michigan State on February 8.
Its rhythm, its level of competence, its feeling for the game, its shooting in the perimeter and its high intensity defense give it an excellent frame to rely in the long term. He plays an unusual basketball style without error (30 reversals in 912 minutes), helping him to gain the confidence of the head coach of the Michigan state, Tom Izzo.
“Coach Izzo taught me to think about the match through countless hours of film and conversations on and off the field,” said Richardson, “he actually trained me stronger over the season, pushing me more when he was putting more responsibility on my plate.”
Jase’s father is Jason Richardson, an All-American and National Champion in Michigan State who was the n ° 5 choice of 2001 draft and continued to have a very productive NBA career.
“My father had the plan planned for me for the way I was going to achieve my goals,” said Jase Richardson. “It’s really special to have someone like him next to me who has crossed the process. I always ask him for comments and advice. We are totally different players, so I don’t feel any pressure if people expect what I do. I have to go out and show myself by myself.”
The combination of the NBA draft will be held from 11 to 18 May in Chicago, and the draft will be from June 25 to 26 in New York.
