Xavier Richards brings efficient JUCO scoring and active two-way guard play to Tennessee State
Richards is a 6-foot-2 guard who arrived at Tennessee State after a productive JUCO run at Baltimore City Community College, where he played in all 31 games, started 10, shot 56% from the field, and posted 189 points, 116 rebounds, 30 assists, 24 steals, and 15 blocks in the 2012 season. That profile suggests a physical, versatile backcourt piece who can score efficiently, rebound his position, and make disruptive plays on defense. The upside is obvious for a team needing toughness and versatility; the key question is how quickly that production translates against Division I competition.[1][4]
