Michigan State’s Jase Richardson Declares for 2025 NBA Draft After Impressive Freshman Season

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Jase Richardson, a rising star and freshman guard at Michigan State, officially declared for the 2025 NBA Draft, adding another exciting name to this year’s projected lottery picks. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound combo guard impressed scouts and fans alike with his poise, efficiency, and high basketball IQ during a standout first season under Coach Tom Izzo.

Richardson started 15 games for the Spartans, averaging 12.5 points per game while shooting an efficient 48% from the field and an eye-popping 41% from three-point range. A skilled and versatile guard, he played a pivotal role in leading Michigan State to a Big Ten Championship and a deep run into the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.

Known for his lethal midrange game and calm control in pick-and-roll situations, Jase is the son of former NBA veteran Jason Richardson, and that pedigree shows on the court. His maturity, basketball IQ, and disciplined shot selection make him one of the most NBA-ready guards in the 2025 class.

Before his time at Michigan State, Richardson played at Columbus High School in Miami, suiting up alongside future NBA Lottery picks Cameron and Cayden Boozer, both committed to Duke. Prior to that, he honed his skills at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, a national powerhouse program.

Richardson’s decision to declare for the 2025 NBA Draft comes with growing buzz around his draft stock. He’s widely considered a lottery-level prospect, with teams intrigued by his two-way ability, court vision, and leadership qualities.

A reliable floor general who rarely makes mistakes, Richardson is the type of player NBA teams can trust to execute plays, make smart decisions, and bring energy on both ends of the floor.

As the NBA Draft approaches, expect Jase Richardson to rise on draft boards — a high-IQ combo guard with deep pedigree, a sharp shooting touch, and proven success on big stages.
