"Will Richard's role is, in his own words, simple. And as a rookie second-round pick out of Florida, it cannot be argued that Richard has been a standout in his simplicity this preseason. He has flashed great passing vision while running the Warriors' famously complex motion offense. And in Tuesday's 118-111 win over the Trail Blazers, his shot finally came around. The 6-foot-4 rookie scored 13 points while filling in for Jimmy Butler."
"I want to be on the same page as everybody. After winning a collegiate championship with the Gators in April, Richard was the 56th pick in the draft by the team he grew up rooting for. He came off the bench during the first three preseason games, and was ready to do it again on Tuesday. But during morning shootaround, coach Steve Kerr informed him that he would be playing with the starters."
Will Richard emphasizes simple, team-oriented play: defense, running the floor, making open shots, and keeping the ball moving. The 6-foot-4 rookie from Florida has shown strong passing vision running the Warriors' motion offense and contributed 13 points in a 118-111 win over the Trail Blazers while filling in for Jimmy Butler. Richard won a collegiate championship with the Gators and was selected 56th overall. He asked many questions during training camp to align with teammates, earned a surprise start from coach Steve Kerr, forced a turnover on Jrue Holiday, and scored on a heady cut off a Kuminga post-up.
