We own the Wheels' 1st round pick...

With Richmond having the Wheels' 1st round pick in the next draft, this game took on a little extra meaning. The Rogues welcomed their second leading scorer from last season, Jason Richardson back to town and he received polite applause from the home fans. This game featured good ball handling and very few turnovers in general, meaning that it would come down to rebounding and shooting. Horford was impressive on the glass (14 with 7 offensive) for Richmond but had his worst shooting game of the season as he was stymied by the defensive muscle of the "Utah tandem" of Millsap and big Al Jefferson. J RIch started out ice cold in his old gym, but heated up later on tallying 20 points as part of a balanced Wheels attack. Only 39% shooting for the Rogues and a stinky second quarter did them in as they trailed by as many as 28 points. Final score 105 to 88 for Williamsville.
