Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
After barely playing during his first two seasons in the NBA, Richards was able to carve out a meaningful role for himself during the 2022-23 campaign. In 18.7 minutes per night, he put up averages of 8.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks, shooting 62.9 percent from the field and a respectable 74.9 percent from the line. Although Mark Williams is now firmly established as the starting center in Charlotte, Richards should serve as the primary backup. His role should replicate what he was able to do last season, putting him on the radar as a specialist target in slightly deeper formats. If Williams misses time at all during the season, Richards could make for a must-add player, even in 12-team leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Knicks could target him
Richards could be a trade target if the Knicks want to bolster their center depth during the 2024-25 season, according to Ian Begley of SNY.tv.
ANALYSIS
The Knicks are set to open the season with Mitchell Robinson as their starting center, while Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims should operate as the backup options. That's a shaky group at best, especially when considering Robinson's injury history, Achiuwa's offensive limitations and Sims' lack of experience. Don't be surprised if the Knicks aim to acquire a center via trade at some point during the 2024-25 season, and Richards could be a strong option, especially if Mark Williams stays healthy for the Hornets. Richards already showed he can produce in a starting role when replacing Williams in Charlotte last season.
