Summary:
Billy Richmond is a very athletic, high-motor swingman that currently plays for Arkansas. He is a tremendously athletic specimen that can make hustle plays on both ends of the floor. On the other hand, he will need to significantly improve his outside shot, and he will need to improve his skill level considerably to be able to play out on the wing at the NBA level. Currently, he projects to go in the late first to the second round range for the 2027 draft.
