Cadderly Richmond wants to fit in, but she doesn't want to step on her toes. He's not forcing issues or jacking shots.
He's at a new school with new teammates and a new coach, so it's natural and admirable for a player of his ilk to approach the first few games like that.
But it's time to adapt others to him. It's time for arguably the best player in the country, who transferred last spring, to take responsibility and end the postponement. The difficulty for No. 22 St. John's University increases starting Sunday, when New Mexico State comes to the Garden first, then a trip to the Bahamas to face No. 12 Baylor, No. 11 Tennessee or Virginia and Georgia.
Richmond is the best player at St. John's. The 6-foot-6 Brooklyn native is an All-American candidate. He was named to the team's All-Big East first team. Get used to it that man.
