showed the ability to defend any type of guard whether they’re a creative scorer, pure shooter, or downhill threat. He didn’t force offense but consistently put himself in the right spots, whether spacing, slipping into gaps, or rotating on defense. Defensively, he was switchable even as a freshman. His length and mobility allowed him to hedge and recover in ball-screen coverage, slide with wings, and rotate to the rim as a secondary shot blocker. He brought a high motor on the glass, often keeping possessions alive with tip-outs or ripping down rebounds in traffic. Richard displays natural floor general skills that make him versatile on the wing with point forward potential if he continues to grow.

was a high-usage player for his team during the Texas Freshman Showcase, creating numerous opportunities for himself off the dribble. When he makes shots, he goes on streaks of offensive consistency, making him a threat on that side of the ball. Offensively, he demonstrated a strong ability to shoot from the perimeter and create driving opportunities for himself, ultimately converting points at the rim. I particularly enjoyed the way he approached the showcase on Sunday!
