With low usage guys like J Rich injuries to other guys never really matter to begin with as its all about them actually hitting shots. Low Usage player?? This guy was one of the most hyped up guys pre-draft, gets 30+ minutes regularly, & he has spoelstra's "neon-green light". Like I said, glad he's doing well now but also glad he's not on my team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, I'll give you that one. Still, the minutes are there and he averages about 10 shouts a game.  "Mid-usage"player? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he starts shooting bad when Whiteside comes back so be it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flat_eric 362 Posted December 13, 2017 Managed to trade J-Rich for (the perennially injured) Galo. But think it's going to get vetoed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With low usage guys like J Rich injuries to other guys never really matter to begin with as its all about them actually hitting shots.  This reasoning is flawed because Richardson's increased shot attempts does correlate with Whiteside's presence. Whiteside went out 11/30, do a quick comparison and you can see  Richardson with 10+ shots a game Before 11/30- 7 out of 20 games After 11/30- 4 out of 6 games (with one game at 9 shot attempts).  A key point here is the mentioning of his confidence. Richardson making more shots is a different variable than him "having the opportunity" to make those shots. If he has less shot attempts, which will be the Whiteside effect, then it WILL affect his stats. Will his stats go up if he confidence is high? Yes. But if he has less shot attempts, will it affect his stats? Also yes.    1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trusthaprocess 463 Posted December 14, 2017 He had 11 in the first quarter....then disappeared after that...the peripherals aren't there, there are better options on the wire. If his shot isn't hitting, he doesn't help your team much, other than steals. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he's only that later guy, then there's plenty of other options 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
