The Warriors gave the second round pick a 4-year standard contract, and he might become a qualified 3D backcourt?

According to the authoritative ESPN reporter Shams Charania, the Golden State Warriors will sign a four-year contract with Will Richard, the second round pick in this year's NBA draft, with the first two years being fully guaranteed. Richard did not sign a two-way contract with the Warriors, but directly obtained a standard contract, which was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

Richard was born in December 2002 and is a 22-year-old backcourt player from the University of Florida in this year's NBA Draft with the 56th pick in the second round. According to physical test data in the G League elite training camp before the draft, Richard's bare feet were 191.1cm, his wingspan was 207.6cm, his standing height was 261.6cm, and his weight was 96.2kg. In the NCAA game last season, Richard played 40 times in total, with averaging 31.6 minutes per game, averaging 13.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 48.7%, his three-point shooting percentage was 35.9%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 84.4%. With his outstanding performance, Richard won the MVP of the SEC League Championship last season, and he was also shortlisted for the NCAA Final Four and the SEC Championship last season. The University of Florida's ability to pass the hurdles and win the NCAA championship last season is also closely related to Richard's outstanding performance.

In the previous NBA Summer League, Richard played 6 games in total, averaging 23 minutes, averaging 11.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 43.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 20.7%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 92.9%. Richard's performance in the summer league was quite good. He also showed a certain ability to move without the ball, and his performance on the defensive end was even more remarkable. However, his stability in outside shooting is a bit worse, and there is still a big gap compared to his performance in the NCAA field last season. However, at least his performance on the defensive end can leave a certain impression on everyone, and he also has certain scoring ability on the offensive end. It seems that he has the opportunity to grow into a qualified 3D type backcourt player.

Richard is also considered a relatively mature player, and he is also capable of playing a certain role on the court. What's more, his performance on the defensive end is also remarkable, and with his previous performance in the NCAA arena, he also has the opportunity to grow into a qualified rotation player. The Warriors' operation is a big deal. I wonder what kind of performance Richard will perform in the NBA next time. Can he perform enough competitively and get the opportunity to stay in the NBA?
