Syracuse basketball's 2015 recruiting class: A look at Malachi Richardson

Syracuse, N.Y. — The Syracuse basketball team ranked 13th in the ACC in 3-point shooting last season with a .301 percentage.

Malachi Richardson could help change that.

Richardson will bring his silky smooth jump shot to Syracuse next season. The 6-foot-6 guard from Trenton, N.J., is part of Syracuse's highly-regarded 2015 recruiting class.

Of the four recruits in SU's 2015 class, the Orange might have the most need for a player with Richardson's skill set. His combination of size, athleticism and a quick release jump shot make him a bonafide threat from beyond the 3-point arc.
