With a strong showing at the 2016 NCAA Tournament, Malachi Richardson popped up on plenty of radars heading into the NBA Draft. Though he shot just 37.0 percent from the field this season, the 20-year-old showed up on the Elite Eight stage for Syracuse, dropping 21 of his season-high 23 points in the second half to push past Virginia. At the next level, the 6-foot-6 Richardson hopes his ideal size and outside-shooting potential can help him stand out at both wing positions.
