Jase Richardson, G, Michigan State
Height: 6-3 • Weight: 185 • Class: Freshman • Age: 19
Summary: Richardson is a skilled combo guard with a lethal midrange game and a poised pick-and-roll feel, looking like he downloaded the experience of his NBA veteran father, Jason Richardson. Jase didn’t inherit his father’s height or dunk contest athleticism though, so his smaller stature could cap his upside.

Comparisons: Derrick White, Rip Hamilton
Strengths
Midrange scoring: He’s an outstanding midrange shooter who loves stopping on a dime then fading away with high-arcing shots over the reach of his defender. He also has a feathery soft touch on leaners, floaters and hook shots, showcasing amazing body control elevating on the move. Most of his midrange attempts come when attacking closeouts and operating in the pick-and-roll.
At-rim finishing: Despite being a below-the-rim athlete, he has immaculate touch and footwork that allow him to score among the trees. But he’s also just tough. He’ll drive into defenders, absorb contact, and still finish.

Pick-and-roll creation: A patient ball-handler, he’s able to use ball screens to get defenders on his back or his hip, then snake into the middle of the floor for pull-ups, floaters and playmaking opportunities.

Role-player skills: Richardson has an innate feel for the game, like whether to attack a closeout straight off the catch or to use a pump fake then attack. And his pump is effective because he’s a knockdown 3-point shooter off the catch with a sense for relocating, using handoffs and coming off screens.
Feel for the game: Richardson is a high IQ player who doesn’t force shots or make many mistakes. He can be relied on to execute plays, keep his focus, and constantly hustle. Coaches will love him since he plays his role to his fullest at all times, including at the most pivotal moments of games.

Defensive intensity: Richardson is a tenacious defender who competes hard on the ball and has active hands to disrupt opponent ball-handlers. And he stays locked in off the ball. He’ll fight through screens, block layups, and jump passing lanes. He plays with a fearlessness that tends to lead to winning plays.
Concerns
Size on defense: Richardson is on the smaller side at only 6-foot-3, so he’ll always be targeted on defense no matter how much he hustles.
Lead guard ability: Though he’s capable of making tasty passes and the right reads, he’s more of a combo guard than a true lead playmaker at this stage. He doesn’t have the quickest first step or the tightest handle.

Isolation scoring: Richardson missed seven of eight of his isolation scoring chances this season, per Synergy. So if he’s going to do more than score within the flow of the offense, he’ll need to prove he can generate shots without a screen and against lengthy defenders.

V Anglii teklo nealko. Liverpool respektoval muslima, který ho dotáhl k titulu
Anglický fotbal skýtá až fascinující jev. Pokud na sítích zmerčíte obyčejný, ale extrémně sledovaný klip, vsaďte se, že se o něm zanedlouho dočtete i v britských médiích nebo bulváru.To se přesně stalo při scénce, která se odehrála po nedělní výhře Liverpooolu 5:1 proti Tottenhamu, po níž už měli domácí čtyři kola před koncem jistý titul v Premier League.Přímo na Anfield Road se rozjelo zlaté veselí. Trenér Slot popadl mikrofon a zpíval před narvaným stadionem, hvězdný Mohammed Salah si na vypůjčený telefon fotil selfíčko. „Chtěl jsem udělat něco výjimečného, aby zůstal snímek na památku,“ vysvětloval ofenzivní třicnátník.Právě egyptská hvězda se přimotala i k propíranému momentu.Za Salahem v jednu chvíli rozverně přihopsal spoluhráč Darwin Núňez s lahví šampaňského, s níž chtěl oporu týmu řádně zkropit. Egypťan ale ucukl a gestem naznačil: Tohle nedělej! Núňez se na chviličku zarazil, ale nakonec spíš symbolicky vylil trochu nápoje na Salahovu hlavu.Salah je muslim, jimž víra […]
Shedeur Sanders’ controversy boosts Draft ratings and sets new record
The drama experienced by then Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders last week was a big media blow for the NFL and also ended with a happy ending, as Deion Sanders' son managed to be drafted and will fight for a place in the starting lineup of his new team, the Cleveland Browns.While the NFL reported that the circumstances in which he was drafted led to record ratings for the third and final day of the Draft with 7.5 million viewers per day, it was the second most-watched draft in history.Shedeur Sanders arrives at Browns facility in casual fitIn addition, Saturday's broadcast, which included rounds four through seven (Sanders was selected in the fifth round), averaged 4.3 million viewers on ESPN, ABC, NFL Network, ESPN Deportes and digital channels. This was a 43% increase over 2024.In terms of total viewership, the increase […]
Bill Belichick, girlfriend ended UNC’s ‘Hard Knocks’ dalliance as fast as it began. Why?
Reported by Matt Baker, Andrew Marchand and Brendan MarksOn Feb. 28, multiple media outlets — including The Athletic — reported that North Carolina’s football program and coach Bill Belichick were expected to be featured this season on “Hard Knocks,” the episodic docuseries that airs on HBO. But the deal fell apart days later, shortly before a public announcement was to be made.AdvertisementJordon Hudson, Belichick’s girlfriend, played an instrumental role in stopping the production, related to her request to be heavily involved in the project, according to multiple industry sources briefed on the negotiations. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. In a December 2024 email to North Carolina officials, Hudson, 24, identified herself as the chief operating officer of Belichick Productions.
