2001 Scouting Report:
Strengths: High-Flyer excels in the open court where his excellent transition game takes control ... Thanks to his wonderful leaping ability he is a very capable rebounder ... Has a quick first step that he utilizes to get pass most defenders ... Slasher gets a lot of points by flying in the lane for either dunks or tip-ins ... Moves well without the ball and is threat for an alley-oop at any time ... Has become a much better set up shooter from mid-range ... Passes well would often slash through the lane and pass to open teammates ... Plays very focused one would think with all his acrobatic dunks and athleticism he would play out of control ... Very good work ethic this summer Richardson lost 20 pounds and worked very hard on his outside shot ... 3-point shot is still a work in progress although is has come very far from where it was as a freshman ...
Weakness: Although he shot the ball better this year he could still use a little more consistency from the outside ... Still learning on how to become a better defender as sometimes he gambles too much ... Still isn't the best shooting off the dribble from 20 feet and in ... Needs to continue to work on the fundamentals of the game and gain a understanding on how to play the game mentally ... Could stand to hit the weights and gain a little more muscle so he can be physically prepared for the 82 game schedule of the NBA ...
