2020 Draft Profile - Nick Richards

Jeremy Woo - Sept. 16th: "He’s a good athlete and solid rim protector who has figured out how to impact games as a finisher without needing his number called. Most scouts still question whether his feel is good enough to succeed in the NBA, and he’s not elite in any one area. "

NBA Draft Room - July 6th: "He’s a springy 6-11 player with good length and nice mobility. He knows his role as a shot blocker and rebounder and seems to take pride in being a big man and doesn’t try to do too much."

HashTag Basketball - July 1st: "He isn't particularly skilled, but he is a big body with good athleticism. Richards' best attribute is his shot-blocking abilities. He has excellent timing and does a nice job of disrupting shots around the rim. "

NBA Draft Room - May 26th: "Richards has all the tools and is just scratching the surface of his potential but is very raw. Has upside but could take some time to develop."

Jeremy Woo - SI - May 6th: "He’s a good athlete and solid rim protector who has figured out how to impact games as a finisher without needing his number called, although most scouts still question whether his feel is good enough to succeed in the NBA. It’s likely Richards ends up in the G League next season, but if his trajectory continues, there’s an outside chance he can work himself into an end-of-bench center."

NBA Draft Room - July 27th: "Richards has all the tools and is just scratching the surface of his potential but is very raw and hasn't progressed as we expected. Has upside but could take a long time to develop."
