It’s kind of surreal to see Jase Richardson in front of an Orlando Magic logo instead of a Spartan helmet, and pretty soon, it’s going to be even stranger when we get to see Richardson play against fellow pro basketball players at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
Richardson, who was drafted No. 25 overall by the Orlando Magic not even two weeks ago, will be one of the featured players in summer league, as NBA fans and analysts flock from around the world to see the latest crop of first round picks in action and see who the next breakout star will be. Richardson in particular has a lot of intrigue around him as a player who came into the draft process with a lot of lottery-buzz, but ultimately fell towards the end of the second round.
Before summer league, Richardson caught up with the media and covered topics like what he’s focused on in practice and in this summer league, what match-ups he is looking forward to, and more. You can watch it below:
