This is just another positive step forward for Richards’ basketball development and no doubtedly is putting a smile on Spurs fans and Spurs management.
Richards played exceptionally well at Great Britain’s U20 squad and while some thought his invitation to the men’s senior team would be short-lived, he is proving naysayers wrong. He played quite well in Great Britain’s recent win over Nigeria in exhibition play.
The London International Basketball Invitational is for next week as Richards and Great Britain will face France, Croatia, Serbia, China and Australia.
Good luck Richards!
