The reality is that less than 2% of all college athletes make it to the pros.
It's disappointing because Richardson has the talent but lacks heart. He often looks disengaged on offense but is capable of putting up close to 20 pts a game as a Duck. If Richardson could shoot the ball with more consistency like before, then many teams would want him as a spot up shooter and for his defense. Last year, he had several NBA teams interested in him as a favorable second round draft pick.
He has gone on stretches, where he was shooting close to 40% from behind the arc. We all seen him pull up and hit some deep threes. For a player to do that, you have to shoot with confidence. There's also a reason that he's won several Pac 12 Player of the Week honors and has been in the conversation for Pac 12 Player of the Year.
Right now, he's not playing like he wants it. Seriously, what the hell is he doing? He's throwing all his years of hard work away. It's the tail end of his senior year, and he's right on the cusp of staring at a possible career in the NBA, and he is blowing it big time! If he really wants it, it's time to show up and show out, not fizzle out and fade into obscurity.
