However, I'm also not all the way out on JRich yet. I'm willing to give him a full offseason and camp to see if he can be even better next season
Why do so many people think pro, veteran players need offseason and/or camp to work their way into a role on a team? They either fit and can play or they don't. They're played for years and should be able to dive right in.
I don't think it's a matter of whether he's useful, because he's shown that he's a positive in several ways. The 90% FT's especially. Seems to me, it's a matter of his contract amount and how much he wants to be here.
