JRich/replacement must: guard the opponents PG, cover two players when using drop coverage on PnR, help defense, handle the ball, create for others, distribute to others, shoot volume 3’s at a high rate and more
You made a very good point here. If we would look to fulfill this very criteria, only superstar players would be able to all of that. Is this perhaps the reason why JRich looks bad on our team? Or Wright last season. They can both do a bit of everything but are not elite at anything. I guess pure 3-D would be a must have from any player hoping to fill that position. Everything else (create for others) would be a bonus, imho. JRich is a bad 3pt shooter and that's why he looks worse than DFS or Maxi. That's also why Curry wasn't a long term solution.
For PF I guess ability to switch over more positions on defense and PnR (since KP doesn't do it despite demanding to be more involved last season) would be required as a must. 3pt shooting and rim protecting is a bonus.
