Weird. Rico is a center who can plan wing while Mantha is just a winger.
Mantha
2020-21: 51 games, 29 pts (0.57 ppg), -14 ... Playoff team
2021-22: 37 games, 23 pts (0.62 ppg), +4 ... Playoff team
2022-23: 67 games, 27 pts (0.40 ppg), -8
2023-24: 56 games, 34 pts (0.61 ppg), +5
Rico
2020-21: 45 games, 21 pts (0.47 ppg), -8 ... waived
2021-22: 58 games, 42 pts (0.72 ppg), -2
2022-23: 62 games, 38 pts (0.56 ppg), -8
2023-24: 60 games, 42 pts (0.70 ppg), +3
Apparently, Rico has a higher ceiling for scoring than Mantha, especially on a rebuild team. Being waived didn't deter Rico from regaining form.
