Syracuse’s explosive wing who flashed March magic
In his 2015-16 season at Syracuse, Malachi Richardson was a 6-6 freshman guard who started all 37 games, averaged 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists, and hit 79 threes while helping the Orange reach the Final Four.[1][2] What made him special was more than the box score: he brought length, shot-making and big-moment confidence, including a memorable 21-point second half in the NCAA tournament, though draft reports also noted streaky shot selection and a need for tighter ball security.[2][3]
