There is no "role" for Tim between JRich and Dorian.
Unfortunately, he has more of that chucker tendency when he feels he is higher on the hierarcy among the players on the floor. So, starting him at SG (Richardson at SF) then bench him quickly, and give most of his minutes without JRich but with one of Luka or KP might do the trick (like it did in the Clippers game).
The guy has a beatiful catch and shoot jumper when his feet are set, yet he falls in love with those MJ-like gliding/flailing shots he can't make. After a few attempts, it even harms his regular shooting form.
In the Clippers game, I noticed him deliberately focusing on setting his feet and jumping straight up before shooting a couple of times, and he scored in each of those attempts. That should be his game. He only brings shotmaking to the floor, so he should play a style where he makes his jump shots over 40%.
