From <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/today/Metro_Sports/Basketball/a-110968.asp" target="_blank">Mitch Lawrence's New York Daily New column</a>: Jason Richardson of Michigan State, an athletic two-guard drawing comparisons to Vince Carter, is rising on everyone's draft list. He could turn into a top-five pick by draft day. ------------------ NOTHING BUT .NET CLUTCHCITY.NET
It appears he's demostrating a consistent jumper. That's good news because the higher he rises, he pushes a player the Rockets might be interested in lower where the Rockets have a grerater chance to get at him. ------------------ Charles Barkely on the Raptors defeating the Knicks in Round 1 :"I think it was the Lord. The Lord was with the Raptors. You know the Knicks like to talk so much about religion, but I think the Lord was a Raptor fan."
Everyone except ESPN said he was quite possibly a top 5 pick before he even declared. He's the only shooting guard worth spending a lottery pick on, he's as athletic as possible, has shown steady improvement in all categories and performed well when matched up against NBA "Dream" teamers. ------------------
