LEXINGTON, Ky. – Nick Richards, the 7-foot tall, 245-pound Kentucky freshman with a 7-foot-5 wingspan, doesn't hide his feelings when asked about playing in the post.

He's honest about his interest in doing something else on the basketball court.

"It's not really what I want to be in life, but it's what my team needs right now," he said. "It's sacrificing. It's what the teams needs, not really what you need. If my team needs a guy in the post to have a post presence, so that's what I'll do.
