Jase Richardson and Jaden Akins are among the top 50 Michigan State basketball players all-time.

Richardson 's final 15 games of his lone season in East Lansing were beyond any stretch that many of MSU ’s greats ever put together.

Richardson was the catalyst for an outright Big Ten championship at a time when such a title was sorely needed.

Richardson and Akins both have a case.

If we were picking teams for a game, Richardson might in the mid-30s all-time at MSU , near his dad, who’s No. 35.

But program impact and multi-year performance keeps some others ahead of him.

If Akins had shot better than 29% on 3 -pointers as a senior, he’d have averaged at least 15 points per game.
