Message: [QUOTE="kirbivore, post: 4682132, member: 952"] Richardson was in that morass of dudes ranked 20-100 where the differences between players are razor thin. He had a tournament run that made him stand out to at least one team and got him that first round guarantee. It's insanely difficult to break into the NBA and he got a 3 year runway. Once he got in the door it was up to him to stay in. Doing the Euro thing isn't what he dreamed of but he's making the most of what he's got. I don't blame the kid for leaving at his probable college apex. If he didn't improve playing full time as a pro I don't see how him returning for a sophomore year helps him. Also the next year was the no tourney probation 2017 season. More likely than not he stays in that 20-100 ranked blob and now he's a year older with more tape to pick apart. [/QUOTE]
