The Sacramento Kings on draft night traded two-guard Marco Belinelli and in return received another two-guard in Malachi Richardson.
Richardson, at the age of 20, has the ability to become a two-way player for the Kings. When I say “two-way” I mean that he is a player that can contribute on both ends of the court.
On offense, Richardson is a scorer that can score in a variety of ways. He is capable of making jump shots at an efficient rate but also can slash to the basket to get his points.
On the defensive end, Richardson isn’t the most athletic player, but he has a lengthy physique which can help him create havoc when guarding opponents.
