When we last updated, we said in our discussions that it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him eventually climb into at least the national top 50 and he more than looked like that level of player on Friday night. On the night, Richmond finished with 25 points and 10 rebounds to show why his stock has been soaring. Then in the final 20 seconds as his team was clinging to a two-point lead, he exploded from the three-point line, hit a quick spin move and hit a tough driving layup to seal a 6-3-57 win. First, he shook a double team with a slick in and out dribble before pulling up to swish a smooth looking 15-foot pull-up jumper. 2 ranked player Dylan Harper was helping the Rens erase what had been a mostly comfortable lead, Richmond shut the door on any comeback try.
A strong and athletic wing, Richmond found that he had a physical advantage and rather than settling for jumpers, he posted up, attacked the rim and got busy on both the offensive and defensive glass.ĭuring the second half he let his teammates help carry the load but late in the game as things were starting to tighten up and 2024’s No. A 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Camden (NJ) High, Richmond was locked in early and sending a major message as he dominated early scoring and rebounding.Īt one point about halfway through the second quarter, the score was Richmond 16 and Rens 16 as he provided a serious early spark. 2024 four-star Billy Richmond of the New Jersey Scholars had the look.
On some nights, you can just see that a guy is going to be locked in from the second he hits the floor. Billy Richmond (Photo: Eric Bossi, 247Sports)
