a physical, rebound-first forward who earned minutes the hard way
Magnus Richards is a 6-foot-7 forward whose Binghamton résumé was built on energy, boards, and toughness: in the 2013-14 season he appeared in 27 games, made 14 starts, averaged 20 minutes, 3.5 rebounds, and was twice an eight-rebound guy, including a five-point, two-steal outing against Bryant. Early coverage also flagged him as a bench piece who helped stabilize a thin frontcourt, which is a good sign for teams needing hustle, defensive activity, and a player willing to do the dirty work.
