Jase Richardson was drafted with the 25th pick in the 2025 NBA draft out of Michigan State
Orlando Magic’s Fresh‑Kid Savior: Jase Richardson Leaps Into the Spotlight
It’s a fresh start for the Orlando Magic, and the first hint? A 25th‑pick rookie who’s already cracking the family name—Jase Richardson, son of former Magic legend Jason Richardson.
From the Hood to the Hardwood
- Jason Richardson: 14‑year NBA veteran, stints with Magic, Bobcats, Suns, 76ers.
- Jase: Played at Michigan State, following his dad under the legendary Tom Izzo.
- Heritage meets hustle: The next generation is set to unleash an explosive blend of talent and legacy.
College Days – 29 Points, Big Wins
On Feb. 8, Jase torched Oregon with 29 points, proving that when he gets the court, he’s a firecracker. Prior to that, the experience‑heavy roster had him on the bench, so he knew the clock was his toughest training partner.
Why This Matters to Orlando
- Deficiency alert: The Magic have struggled to hit the perimeter.
- Solution on the table: They said “okay, we’re adding a shooter.” Desmond Bane joins the squad to sweeten the 3‑point line.
- Player‑bullet: Adding Jase means a fresh set‑up that can convert those long‑range attempts into points.
Expansion of Picks – The French Connection
In a cautious play, Orlando traded its second‑round gem to Boston, moving up to the 32nd pick. The result? The selection of Noah Penda—a lanky forward who can guard multiple positions and spread the floor.
- Professional resume: Le Mans Sarthe Basketball in France.
- Championship potential: Averaged 12 points in the FIBA U20 EuroBasket for the French national team.
- Comparison to elite: Some see similarities with French star Nicolas Batum.
In Short: A New Era
With Jase Richardson’s arrival and the bolstering of point‑guard play by Desmond Bane, the Magic enter a new season brimming with hope, humor, and the sweet scent of a three‑point win. It’s a replay of the magic’s storied past, now with a fresh twist—time to watch this family legacy light up the court.
