Will Richard may be taking the next leap in his Warriors development before our eyes

Writer G.C. Bellchamber argues that Golden State Warriors second-year player Will Richard is showing signs of taking a significant developmental leap. During a preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Richard scored 15 points and made all three of his three-point attempts. The writer suggests this confident performance is exactly what the Warriors need as they look to fill rotation gaps this season.

With the departures of Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody, Golden State will rely on complementary players to step up. Bellchamber notes that while Richard had a strong rookie season defensively, he must improve his offensive consistency and perimeter shooting to secure a consistent role in Steve Kerr's rotation.
