After a few pre-season games, Allan Houston's shooting accuracy was terrible.
He felt that he tired easily now, and his breathing would become labored after just a little running.
This physical condition made it impossible for him to find his shooting touch.
On the other hand, Jason Richardson posted a 42% three-point shooting rate in the pre-season, averaging 1.5 steals per game!
You could say he has already become an above-average 3-and-D guard.
Whether it's the "3" or the "D", he's already better than Allan Houston, plus he has efficient finishing ability that Allan Houston lacks.
In the last pre-season game, both Jason Richardson and Allan Houston got 20 minutes of playtime.
The former scored 13 points, 3 assists, and 1 steal; the latter scored 4 points, 0 assists, and 2 rebounds.
After the game, a reporter asked Allan Houston a question that left him speechless: "Allan, do you think you'll still be a starter next season?"
