MSU's Jase Richardson Speaks From NBA Combine

Jase was then asked to describe his game.

"I think I just became a better three-level scorer," he said. "I can score at all three levels and facilitate for my teammates and make some plays for them, and I'm a solid on-ball defender."

Jase's height measurement at the combine had many surprised, as the young prospect came in at 6 1/2 feet without shoes. Of course, as a professional, he'll need to find a way to compensate for the lack of size.

"Just by doing all the little things: rebounding, hustling, being a team player, just doing things like that,"Jase said.

Jason, of course, is well familiar with this process his son is currently experiencing, and he went on to have a successful NBA career, playing 13 seasons in the league. Katz asked Jase what his father and Michigan State have told him about the draft process.

"Have as much fun with it as possible," Jase said. "You only get to do this experience once, so enjoy it."

Jase became a freshman sensation for the Spartans last season, ultimately making the All-Big Ten Third Team and the conference's All-Freshman Team. He established himself as one of the top freshmen in the nation as he helped lead the Spartans to a Big Ten title and an Elite Eight appearance.
