Good point. JRich has only played 12 games with KP this season. Net rating is -0.1. HOWEVER, D-Rating is by far the worst of any other pairing with a regular at 124.
Interestingly, KP has an even worse D-Rating when playing next to DFS at 128, but pretty much all of his pairings with regulars have a D-Rating that is worse than team average of 114.4.
Back to JRich, it would take some math, but he is probably nicely net positive to team D in the minutes he isn't playing with KP. He's 10 over with KP at 124 which is about 1/3 of his total minutes this season. So, he's probably about 5 under at 109 in the other 2/3's without KP.
