Nick Richards

Draft board

Where he sits

Nick Richards is number 239 of 488 on our fantasy basketball draft board, in tier 22.

This is LMD's own fantasy basketball projection board and not an average draft position: nobody has measured where he is actually drafted. Every number on it is produced by our model from BALLDONTLIE, and none of it is anybody else's ranking.

Board: lmd-nba-projection

Our model

2026-27 projection

We project 19.6 fantasy points and 20.1 minutes a game across 56 games, in a fantasy basketball points league.

About 1,100 fantasy points over 56 projected games -- the per-game figure is the projection, and this is it multiplied out.

Confidence High: 171 games and 3,715 minutes observed across 3 seasons, on a different club than last season.

Against 2025-26, priced with the same scoring rule: 14.0 fantasy points a game over 47 games, a change of +5.6.

The whole board · C rankings

LMD projections estimate each player's expected fantasy production from the 2023-2025 seasons, weighting recent playing time and per-minute production and regressing small samples toward positional norms. They are our own model's view, not a consensus and not a draft market. Rookies have no NBA history, so they are projected from what players drafted near the same slot have historically played, at low confidence. Statistics from BALLDONTLIE.

Last season as it was actually recorded, per game. It is a measurement rather than a projection, and nothing on this page turns it into one: our board order does not read it.
