A scout's take on Richmond

"There are four NBA talents," Procopio said. "There's the NBA talent that is ready today. The NBA talent where in 2-5 years you'll be ready to go. You have all the athletic gifts, but you got to work on them and develop them. There's the guys who aren't very talented, but are hard-working and tough. The Adrian Griffins, the Tyler Hansbroughs, those guys are just tough. Then, there are the guys who never make it.

"In my opinion, Jereme's that No. 2 guy. He's that guy he's not ready today, but if you have patience that guy will be close to a 20-point game scorer in the NBA or better. He's got talent now."
