Top 10 2025 NBA Draft prospects in the NCAA Tournament

6. Jase Richardson, G, Michigan State

Richardson has made perhaps the biggest in-season jump among players on this list as he wasn’t a regular starter for Michigan State until the second half of the conference season. The Spartans have taken off since Tom Izzo inserted the star guard into the starting lineup, winning the Big Ten and earning a No. 2 seed in the South Region where they might eventually play top-seeded Auburn with a trip to the Final Four on the line. Richardson is averaging 12 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists. He is a quick guard who sees the floor well, but his scoring efficiency has really stood out as he shoots 51.2% from the field and 41.2% from deep. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound guard, who is the son of former NBA player Jason Richardson, undoubtedly has the talent to succeed at the next level.
