2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

Some people convinced themselves that Richardson can be that guy, but part of his struggles in Philly is he was asked to do too much of that when he really just needs to be a conventional 3D guy.

I think we're still in need of a second playmaker on roster next to Luka, but, no, JRich does not just need to be a conventional 3D guy. Out of himself, THJ, and DFS, he is by far the best at creating his own shot. Given Brunson's tunnel vision, and Burke being more of a Monta type, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that JRich is the Mavs' second-best playmaker. I'm not saying he's anywhere near elite. I'm just saying that saying he is just, or should be just, a 3&D player is absurd.
