Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 2981989, member: 1674"] As someone that has found a lot of joy in watching Chukwu the past couple seasons, I feel it's necessary to say that there's a difference between being a legitimate offensive contributor and being a significant upgrade over Chukwu on that end. In the very least, Richards is capable of catching the ball and going up with it. Per 40 minutes, Chuwku attempted 4.2 shots in his time here, which was good for 8 points per 40 minutes. Richards has attempted 7.8 per 40 for Kentucky at slightly worse but still great efficiency, good for 13.5 points per 40 minutes. If Richards were able to get immediate eligibility by some stroke of luck, I'd take him here in a heartbeat; certainly over guys like Jesse Edwards. Not sure I would want to wait a year for Richards, though he may still be our best option at that time anyways. [/QUOTE]
