As the Golden State Warriors seek to fill out their roster for next season, one of the major holes in the current construction of their team lies in their lack of a veteran, ball-handling guard to help provide more stability to the backcourt.
Although young guard Will Richard is not the veteran ball-handler they are presumably seeking, he could certainly still make a rotational impact this season after exceeding expectations in Summer League.
Through four games in Las Vegas, Richard, the 56th overall pick in the draft, averaged 10.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and two assists coupled with multiple solid defensive performances, and, through the course of the team's matchups, it was clear that he took strides in playing at the required speed.
