I get being down on him as he disappointed in Summer League and pre-season and is an older prospect, but the 2-12 from 3 for one game isn't going to be the reason for me anyways. Even wonderboys PP and White recently stunk it up from 3 in the same game. He's averaging 19.5, 6.8 boards, and 3.1 assists while shooting 35% from 3 after after the 2-12 stinker so not terrible. You'd like to see closer to 40% from a "shooter", but doing the math looks like he was 38.2% before with only an 8 game sample making a big difference.
Rico IMO is what football fans call a "gunslinger". He's all over the place trying to score, but I don't think that's a bad thing. It seems like his summer league shooting slump is still breathing.
But what was everybody looking for him to work on this season? DEFENSE.
Right now he's :
328th Def WS
379th Def RTG
And there are 455 players who have played in the G this season.
He can fix his shooting, but if he doesn't get better on the defensive end....

I'd actually like to see Rico handle the PG duties more in Maine.
