Rumors that Malachi Richardson is going to go top 10 and that Orlando loves him.

Good. I think Murray is the cream candidate... Baldwin the solid hard on and Richardson is just got out of the freezing cold ocean flaccid candidate for me.

There is the original source of the snippet.
Also this :
So has Richardson worked out for the Jazz yet or planning to soon? Do the Jazz love him that much as well, cuz if he slips pass the Jazz at 12th I think he'll continue to slip pass the Sun and Nuggets for not working out for them. Is it a mistake for opting out on NBA teams like that?
Maybe if the Jazz don't get the player they really want at 12th, they should trade down to 24th and 26th?
Fwiw Philly has been quoted, by multiple outlets, as saying they are strongly considering Jamal Murray as the number 1 overall pick.
So, yeah.
Has there ever been a college player who shot as bad as Richardson that was successful?
I can totally see the magic taking him.. They hate shooting.
FG% =/= shooting ability
Even Walt Perrin after his workout said Malachi's strength is his shooting ability.
Yes, his FG% is concerning, but that doesn't mean he's not a good outside shooter.I disagree. 37% is concerning. Hopefully he failed the balance beam. I don't get why he would be considered top ten.
In the second round or late first sure. Seems like and over reaction to his measurables and a big tournament game.

I think his low % is because he took too many tough shots, which could be a sign of bad bbiq. When he was making those step-back 3s, he looked amazing... but when he wasn't, well...

So he cancelled his workouts with a team with the 13th and 15th pick in the draft. That has to tell you something.

The weird thing is that his 3p shot is probably his best skill right now. If you look at his shot chart, his midrange is horrific... Most of his woes come from ill-advised shots(low bball IQ) and overestimating his own abilities. He is a bit Nick Young-ish in that sense.
Phoenix and Denver have multiple picks, including 13 and 15.What are all the teams that he's had a workout with so far?
Phoenix also has the 4th and Denver the 7th
Makes sense for Philly to randomly discuss "long shots" as their standing with the players and agents isn't the best right now.
