i've been hearing this thought percolating around GSOM and it is a new idea to me. it might be because i've been listening to most of the games on the radio this year, and play-by-play guys tend not to focus on defense as much, but i guess i always assumed richardson was a decent defender. i mean, he is strong, pretty fast, a dedicated player. why can't he play D?
Zig mentioned that KNBR's guy shared this line on why j-rich is not fully in nellie's favor:
Steinmetz said Monta and J-rich don't play because they aren't doing what he wants on defensecan anyone help me out on this one? what kind of defender is j-rich, as compared to other shooting guards and swingmen around the league?
