45. Nick Richards

Originally from Kingston, Jamaica, Nick Richards’ talent brought him to the United States, where he became a star at the University of Kentucky.  After a solid college run, he was drafted by the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2020 Second Round and traded the day after to Charlotte.

The Center bounced between the Hornets and the G-League and played off the bench the years after before he found significant time in 2023-24.  That season, he started over 50 Games and averaged 9.7 Points and 1.1 Rebounds per Game, but was traded to Phoenix suring the following year.
