Rick Pitino has identified areas where Kadary Richmond can improve, suggesting he needs to shed some weight to regain his quickness and stamina. Richmond's stats have dipped this season, partly due to sharing the ball with Deivon Smith. While Richmond's shooting percentage is high, his shot attempts are down compared to last year at Seton Hall.
Rick Pitino recently sat down and watched three of Kadary Richmond ’s best games at Seton Hall last year. “The only major difference I witnessed is the ball was in his hands more at Seton Hall , and I feel he’s put on about eight to 10 pounds that he needs to lose,” Pitino said Friday. “He’s not as quick as he was then. I talked to him last night about it, in studying you could see it.
Obviously, this is a different style and he is playing with another ball-dominant guard in Deivon Smith. “In his defense, he’s playing with Deivon, who wants the ball,” Pitino said. “At Seton Hall, he had the ball 80 percent of the time.” In memory of St. John’s legend Lou Carnesecca, Rick Pitino wore a sweater when the St. John’s Red Storm played the Kansas State Wildcats on Dec. 7, 2024.“We thought about doing this around the time of the funeral, but didn’t think that was the right time,” Paquette said. “We thought this would be a good time to acknowledge all he’s meant to St. John’s and the Big East and New York college basketball. I think it will be kind of cool.
