Malachi Richardson | SG | 6’6”, 200 Ibs | Syracuse

Malachi Richardson is a raw talent with incredible upside.  He has a 7-foot wingspan, and when he heats up he can be a great shooter.  For the time being however, he’s way too inconsistent and he often makes poor decisions when handling the ball.

This could be one of the biggest steals if he has the ability to manipulate his game into the NBA style. Richardson is one of the hottest names in the draft this year, going from not even a first-rounder to a potential top 10 pick.

Could he be the steal of the draft? Maybe. But he could also be the bust of the draft.
