Like his dad, Jase Richardson was a first-round NBA draft pick. The former Michigan State star wants to "prove people wrong" after his NBA draft drop.

Richardson is now a part of a playoff team with established standouts, including Franz and Moritz Wagner. The Wagner brothers starred at Michigan and beating the Wolverines in the regular-season finale at home before raising a Big Ten title banner at the Breslin Center last season remains Richardson’s top memory with the program.

Richardson is the 24th player in the Tom Izzo era to be drafted to the NBA, the first since Max Christie went to the Lakers in 2022.
