For this arrangement, coach Cole said: "He is a very good and versatile player. He can shoot and guard the ball holder, but he also understands the competition without the ball, whether on the offensive end or the defensive end.
On the defensive end, he will stay in the gap (passing or breakthrough). He will fill in and rotate. He has huge energy, he runs on the court, You can feel his energy on the court. He is a player who can connect the lineup because of his passing and his awareness, so we are very excited. I told him this is the NBA, it is so unique. He didn't play last night, but he will start tonight." So far this season, Richard has played 13.7 minutes per game and scored 5.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
