Michigan State basketball assistants Thomas Kelley and Doug Wojcik were both in attendance throughout the weekend.<\/p>\r\n<p>One of the players they watched several times over the weekend was 2024 guard Jase Richardson. Richardson is 6-foot-2 and 165 pounds and is from Las Vegas, Nev. He attends Bishop Gorman and is ranked No. 46 overall in his class (247Sports Composite).<\/p>\r\n<p>Oh and also, he\u2019s the son of former Michigan State star Jason Richardson.<\/p>\r\n<p>Richardson played for Michigan State from 1999-2001 before leaving after his sophomore season for the NBA. In his sophomore season at MSU, Richardson averaged over 14 points per game. He also helped give Tom Izzo his first, and only (as of now), national championship in 2000.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Golden State Warriors took the Saginaw native fifth overall in the 2001 NBA Draft. Richardson would not only go on to establish himself as a great scorer in the NBA but also one of the best dunkers the league has ever seen. He won the NBA dunk contest in 2002 and 2003, and it looks like his son Jase has inherited some of his father\u2019s athleticism.<\/p>\r\n<p>Don\u2019t believe me?
