Richard is much better as a versatile help defender, he makes great cuts to the basket and can actually finish, and he can also hit threes from the corner. He just has that veteran savvy and fire, dude is in that Shane Battier-role, the ball moves better when he's on the floor because he's a quick decision maker and he makes smart decisions..
An example of that is when he saw Steph was on him he said fukk this im driving on him hard and he was able to draw a foul. Love's slow, no-vert having ass would have caused a clumsy turnover, got blocked from the weakside, or missed the lay-up.
He needs to start the remainder of this series, bring Love off the bench he could split minutes with Frye and potentially flourish with the second unit...
