He's just kinda like that "utility player" in baseball who hits .220 and plays 4 different position but all of them at a mediocre or sub mediocre level. I really wonder what the consensus opinion of JRich would be if he had played his career in Charlotte or Sacramento rather than having built a reptaution with Pat Riley, Spoelstra and "Heat Culture".
If we are going to use a baseball metaphor, he is more like a good defensive shortstop who is a little below average at the plate. That is a quality starter. I think too much is being taken from a small 25 game sample which includes learning a new team and recovering from Covid. Lets see what he is by the end of the year. Don't have to make a call before then anyways (don't see him getting traded at deadline).
