Ncaa tourney

Richardson is no way ready for the pros and a top 5 pick in this draft no way.

Malachi Richardson is a steal. Should go top 5

He definitely passes the eye test for me.  But I think Dunn is clearly the best of the bunch.  Compare their performances against UNC and Dunn was clearly the best player on the floor in that game.  Can't say the same for Richardson last night.  I do like his potential though

Ingram is gonna be a star in the NBA

Ingram is gonna be a star in the NBA

Agree, Durant type player.

Ingram is very raw but I like his potential. Malachi needs another few years of consistent, high level play and growing into his body but he's a future pro.

As much as I don't like Malachi Richardson as a prospect I think he should at least consider declaring. I honestly think that his 36% FG% will not translate at all to the pros, but the more he stays in college the more his weaknesses will be exposed. This year's draft is weak, and if he enters he's got a shot at being a 1st round pick and cashing in on what as a good, yet very inconsistent, performance in the tourney this year. Kind of like Tyus Jones last year. I thought he obviously wasn't ready for the NBA, nor would he ever be a good player, but he entered and got picked in the first round, and cashed in on his solid performance for Duke in the NCAAs last year.

Richardson if he enters the draft would not be a top five pick but would be playing in the D-League next year.

UNC opens as a 2.5-point favorite over Villanova. O/U 151.5.

Hey Baldi, re Richardson, what are you smoking and can you send me some?  He is nowhere near ready, needs at least 2 more years.  Ingram has better current tools and a larger upside as does Hield and particularly Sabonis.  If He goes he is early 2nd round at the best and D-league bound.

Baldi - says Richardson a top five in the draft and draft express doesn't even have him in the top 100 of the draft

Who do you believe

Baldi - says Richardson a top five in the draft and draft express doesn't even have him in the top 100 of the draft

Who do you believe

To be settled soon enough

Baldi - says Richardson a top five in the draft and draft express doesn't even have him in the top 100 of the draft

Who do you believe

Nbadraft.net has him going at 17

Richardson if he enters the draft would not be a top five pick but would be playing in the D-League next year.

This just makes me more confident

He is not even the best freshman on his own team let alone a top five pick.

Dunn really lost me at the end of this season. He is the anti-Kemba. How does a dominant senior pg not have a finishing move? I'm not asking for a Kemba double step-back, but you have to be able to get a good look at will in college with the game on the line and he could not.

I soured on Dunn a little this year also but it's unfair to compare him to Kemba. Kemba was more of a scorer while Dunn is more of a passer. If Dunn had more than one guy on his team this year that could make a shot he could have broken some assist records

Malachi may very well declare, but it would be a big mistake.  He's nowhere near ready for pro ball.  Another year at Syracuse and I think he could be a lock for top 5 in 2017.

Right now?  I don't see it, but if he had a good showcase maybe I could see him late lottery.  Great athleticism and raw skills.  He wouldn't jump Kris Dunn though.  Dunn is a much more finished product.  Will be an immediate contributor in the NBA next year.

Honestly, down two with 15 seconds left, give me that frosh from Xavier, Sumner, over Dunn. That kid broke down Wisconsin at will all game, including the last possession.

NBDL for Dunn.

Dunn is a plus defender from day 1.  Avery Bradley has had a nice little career.
