Dallas Mavericks: Why Josh Richardson will quickly become a fan favorite

The Dallas Mavericks made some key offseason moves to improve the team’s defense. None was bigger than trading Seth Curry for Josh Richardson. It will hurt losing Curry and his elite 3-point shooting, but JRich offers additional two-way production.

Richardson is coming off a down season with the Sixers, but the 27-year-old has a unique skill set. He is a tremendous on-ball defender that can handle the ball, shoot, and make plays.
