Scouting Notebook: Michigan State vs. Minnesota and Montana vs St. Thomas

Seeing Michigan State, Minnesota, Montana, and St. Thomas in person provided a ton of insight on Jase Richardson, Money Williams, and many other 2025 NBA Draft hopeful prospects.

It was a busy week for me last week as I got to see the Minnesota Golden Gophers play the Michigan State Spartans, as well as watching the Montana Grizzlies battle the St. Thomas Tommies. The main draws for both games were Jase Richardson with Michigan State and Money Williams on Montana. They did not disappoint and gave me plenty of good, bad, and everything in between.

Before we dive in on my in-person reactions and scouting notes from both games, I just wanted to quickly direct you to a GoFundMe for Money Williams. He and his family have gone through a lot over the past year. I won’t dive into the details as his site does a much better job than I could.
