The Shooter Your Team Needs To Take A Chance On

There's a player in NBA/G-League who currently has never really received a real shot in the NBA but in the G-League has proven he's NBA talent. He is shooting at 40.5% from 3 point land and is averaging 24.5 ppg during his 8 game run in the G-League. His name is Malachi Richardson. He was drafted 22nd in the 2016 NBA draft and since he's been in the league he was never given a real shot. He played for the Kings, which we all know up until the last 2 years has been a disaster of a team, then he was traded to the Raptors where he is buried in the bench. In his 3 year career, Richardson has only played 68 games and is averaging only 2.8 shots per game. With these statistics in the G-League I don't see why a team who needs shooter, like the Thunder or Pelicans, wouldn't try to trade for Richardson and finally give him a real shot in the league. Richardson was a knockdown shooter in college, with Syracuse, shooting 35% from 3 point. Malachi was so good with Syracuse, he lead the Orange to a Final Four performance. Syracuse was a complete Cinderella story where they started off 10th in their conference. Richardson was hitting big shot after big shot for Syracuse that year. Richardson is perhaps one of the best shooters in the league who isn't given a legitimate shot in the NBA. If I was a gm who needed a shooter on their team, I would personally give Richardson a shot.
