I would think Richardson needs to show he has more than just a hot-or-cold three-point shot before an NBA team drafts him...but then again, this is NBA scouts and GM's we're talking about.

Scout: This kid shoots 35% from three and has good size for a guard, but hasn't figured out how to penetrate and score consistently and turns the ball over more than twice a game.

GM: Hmmm...I'll pass.

Scout: But wait - he's a freshman.

GM: WHAT?! DRAFT HIM NOW! WE'LL MAKE HIM A STAR!

Scout: I thought you might say that! Since we're looking at Syracuse, his teammate is 6-6 and played point guard this year. He can handle, is great penetrator, can jump through the ceiling and shot .411 from three. He really can do it all and led SU to the Sweet 16.

GM: Wow! Sounds great.

Scout: Hold on, sir. This young man is...a [I]senior[/I]. *lowers head in shame*

GM: Noooooooooooo! How dare you even waste my time with this garbage?!

Scout: I'm sorry, sir. It's just that he's the best player on that te--

GM: I don't care! He's over the hill. We can't work with someone that...[I]old[/I]! Yuck! *dry heaves*

Scout: You're right, sir. I'm sorry. It won't happen again!
