For someone who only played a quarter of the team’s games this past season, Josh Richardson made a big impression on Spurs fans. The trade deadline acquisition went from not being in the rotation to playing a key part in the late season charge that landed the team in the play-in.
Assessing what Richardson did right in San Antonio is easy, and it doesn’t take long. The bigger question evolves around whether the soon-to-be 29-year-old, who has trade value and could help contenders, should be on the team going forward.
Traits, expected role and stats
Richardson is a 6’5” veteran wing that was acquired along with Romeo Langford and a first round pick in the trade that sent Derrick White to Boston.
