Nick Richards has been a missing piece that Kentucky has needed during his time in Lexington.
The 6’11” junior is full of potential, and has been since he first stepped on campus, but he’s never been able to truly put it all together. We’re two games into his third campaign as a Wildcat, though, and it seems like Richards is solving the puzzle.
Anything Richards gave against Michigan State was going to be a plus since his availability was in question all the way leading up to the game. He gave a solid performance in 25 minutes of action with 7 points and 4 rebounds while his impact on the defensive end was what really had a buzz going.
