Mitch "The Rock" Richmond nicknamed because of his rock solid performance day and day out was a force to be reckoned with. Never overly fancy or flashy Mitch flat out got the job done. The number 5 first round draft pick of Golden State Warriors, Mitch formed "Run TMC" alongside Tim Hardaway, and Chris Mullins, using a shoot em up style of play perfect for the Don Nelson offense archetype. He avg 22+ points per game in Golden State until he was traded to the Sacramento Kings where he led the team in scoring for 7 straight seasons. Mitch retired after winning a ring with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2002 and is now a talent scout for the Golden State Warriors. Few players have played with the spirit and consistency Mitch displayed in the league, he was a professional and role model without having to state it, actions speak for themselves.
