Tom Izzo compares two MSU basketball freshmen to two Michigan State legends

Michigan State basketball has a few extremely talented freshmen on the team this season, and two of them, Jase Richardson and Kur Teng, play the guard position, and Tom Izzo had some lofty comparisons to two MSU legends for them on Thursday in his weekly press conference.

For Jase Richardson, Izzo compared him to Sam Vincent. Kur Teng got a comparison to Shawn Respert. Those are two of the better guards in Michigan State history, so quite a comparison and high praise for them.
