I think if he had stayed in Phil, he'd have improved his numbers this year over last. I'm gonna keep thinking that until next year if he's still on the team. If by the allstar break next year he isn't coming into his own on the team, that's when I'll start believing he is what he is.
He does bring defense on the team at a position that is needed with Luka being our PG, he is also a great FT shooting option in tight games where defense is needed. That 3% is dreadful though. We've put up with some really bad 3 pt shooters over the years though (looking at you DFS, and the attempt to make Powell into one, and even Maxi at first, Brunson, esp Luka and KP but we know with them why) and came away with statements like "I'll only trade him for a superstar".
I expect J Rich to get hot from 3 the 2nd half. These things tend to balance out. I just can't imagine him finishing a sub 30% from 3 this year. I believe he will get hot and prob finish around 35% for the season.
