2017 NBA Manifesto

Josh Richardson
PG/SG, 6’6, 200lbs, 23 years old, 2 years of experience

Slightly disappointing year; missed a fair amount of time due to injury and lost the good volume high efficiency three-point shot of his rookie season, which had a knock-on effect onto his entire game. Richardson is not going to be an NBA lead guard, and showed it when asked to be at times this past season, so instead he must try to thrive in a formula like that of his rookie season. Some secondary ball handling, smart passing, spotting-up, timely driving, maybe even the occasional post-up, combined with good defence at the one, two, three and sometimes even four positions. Ellington is the better shooter, Johnson is the better ball handler and McGruder is (perhaps) the better wing defender; Richardson, then, must become the utility guy who can do a bit of each, and whose tremendous versatility provides his value.

Player Plan: Unguaranteed minimum salary contract for next season, final year. Bit of a down season on 2016/17, but still very much worth that.
