This week, my post over at Basketball Prospectus took a look at Jason Richardson and the many different ways that the Phoenix Suns use him:

Phoenix’s Jason Richardson might be one of the most complete offensive players in the NBA, at least in terms of being able to do a number of different things. He can knock down the three ball, play with his back to the basket, and he can jump out of the building. In Richardson’s second full season with the Suns, it is appears that the team is getting a feel for his abilities and they are really embracing it. The Suns are moving Richardson around and using him in a number of situations, and Richardson has really been benefiting.

So far this year, Richardson has put up a Win Percentage (Win %) of 60.5 and an Offensive Rating (ORtg) of 109.1, both numbers are highs in his time with the Suns. In addition, Richardson has a WARP of 2.5, which is good for 28th in the NBA. He is doing all of this while putting up better True Shooting Percentage (TS%) and Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%).

For some reason, I am a big Jason Richardson fan, so it is nice to see him being so successful in a few different areas on the offensive end.
