The NBA is nearing its return as teams started practice this week. It was the first real NBA practice for former Michigan State star and the latest Tom Izzo one-and-done, Jase Richardson.
It’s going to be fun following him this season with the Orlando Magic. He was their first-round pick, but he slid down to No. 25 overall. Earlier on in the process, he was projected as a lottery pick, but his measurables at the combine really scared some teams away.
The Magic still took their chances with him, picking him late in the first round.
