come on now. Rick didn't hold JB back. He contributed to developing JB and now we're seeing Jalen's four year progression continue.
I was trying to be a little hyperbolic but I mainly agree. Rick absolutely developed JB. Although I don't think it's a stretch to think he pigeonholed him to a strict role and his system didn't allow him to flourish. He was a pseudo 6th man at best while RC was here.
