- Michigan State guard Jase Richardson was selected 25th overall by the Orlando Magic in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft in Brooklyn on Wednesday night.
- Richardson declared for the draft after his freshman season, choosing not to withdraw despite having the option to return to Michigan State.
- He became a starter early February 2025, leading Michigan State to a 30-7 record, a Big Ten regular-season title, and an Elite Eight NCAA Tournament appearance.
- Over the course of 36 games, Richardson contributed an average of 12.1 points, pulled down 3.3 rebounds, and dished out 1.8 assists per contest, while connecting on 41.2 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc; his versatile scoring ability at multiple levels earned him considerable praise.
- He is the first Michigan State first-round draftee since Jaren Jackson Jr. in 2018 and the Spartans’ first one-and-done player since Max Christie in 2022, marking a new chapter in the program's NBA pipeline.
