Rochester, N.Y. — Jim Boeheim isn't buying Malachi Richardson's rise through the mocks.
The longtime Syracuse head coach called out NBA Draft pundits for ranking Richardson as high as No. 13 after he left SU following his freshman year. Boeheim believes it's impossible for a player to have moved up teams' boards this early in the process as individual workouts haven't started yet.
"I don't think he's moved anywhere," Boeheim said at SU's no-huddle tour stop in Rochester. "That's just media nonsense. That's just the media and agents talking. Pro teams have not even had a thought about who they're going to draft.
