It feels like this is a match made in heaven. The Milwaukee Bucks love to take a gamble on drafting long, raw prospects. This is evident by them drafting Giannis Antetokounmpo, Thon Maker and D.J Wilson in recent years. Nick Richards of Kentucky perfectly fits the bill of what the Bucks look for in a prospect.
On the offensive side of the ball, Richards is far from what he could become: a dominating force. Richards has had a couple of big games, including a 25-point performance against IPFW, shooting 9-10 from the field that game.
For the season, Richards is averaging 8.7 points per game, 6.6 rebounds per game and 1.6 blocks per game in just 18.1 minutes on the court per game. Due to the talent at Kentucky, Richards was unfortunately never going to get an abundance of playing time. However, Richards has shown the potential to warrant a first-round selection.
