In Nick Richards’ freshman season, he unsurprisingly proved himself to be apart of what may be a dying breed of big men: He’s big, he’s bulky, and he only plays close to the basket.
That’s not a bad thing. In fact, when you prove that you can excel in that role, you bring to your team what few other teams in the country have these days. For Richards, his freshman year featured a glimpse of his ability to give Kentucky a leg up down low ... but it was really only a glimpse.
We cannot deny that Richards has plenty of talent.
