Malachi Richardson
SG, 6’6, 205lbs, 21 years old, 1 year of experience
Roughly the twelfth guard on the depth chart, Richardson played little before ending the season injured, and spent only 11 games on assignment. What he did show in the brief time that he managed was a defensive intensity he had not always had in college. Richardson’s long arms should make him a good wing defender and rebounder, so this should continue, and while the outside spot-ups did not work well for him in his lim-ited NBA minutes, Richardson got to the free-throw line an awful lot on assignment to the Bighorns, aggressively driving with a running start, albeit still missing an awful lot of missed long twos that might as well be missed threes. His athleticism limits his potential, but a Tony Snell career would do.
Player Plan: Three years of rookie scale salary remaining. Didn’t show much and isn’t exactly flying up the depth chart with recent moves, but did nothing wrong, so should stick around for evaluation and development.
