Richmond has been the model of consistency for a leading scorer. In 23 games he averages 18.3 points on 58% eFG%, higher efficiency than some of the best scorers ever in Jordan, Curry, and Durant in college, and has scored under 13 points just 3 times. Even those were still respectable games of 9, 10 and 12 point.

The two best scorers in college in recent years I can remember Durant and Curry got way more shots per game (18.5/20 shots compared to 13 a game for Richmond) and each had 2 or 3 games under that 13 points as well their last or only year and were much farther off their average. Curry even had a zero point game in 32 minutes where he completely disappeared. The guy has consistently given us effective offense and he would any team, more so with help.

Your obsession with this PER stat is hilarious. Richmond is an excellent shooter but gs_pirate was spot-on with his post. Nothing you've posted about PER, Curry, Durant or Jordan is a retort to his post. It makes you look like a baffoon to even put Richmond in the same paragraph as those guys.
