| Richmond, Jereme | Illinois | 6'7" | 207 | SG | Frosh. | Richmond surprised some folks by leaving Illinois after just one season. He is a former McDonald's All-American that has a unique combination of speed, vision, and feel for the game. He has the potential, with his length and speed, to be a great perimeter defender. He averaged 7.6 points, 5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in just 22 minutes per contest. He shot 52% FG. There is only a small sample size to evaluate him (685 minutes) and the numbers per minute are good but nothing special. However when you factor in his age (19), his long arms, and the way he moves on the court - you can't help but think he is just scratching the surface of what he could become in time. ...He is not a good shooter for a potential wing player. He shot a dozen three-point shot shots as a freshman and made just two. ...He played for Team USA at the FIBA America's Under 18 Tournament. |
