I think it's better to get PT as long as it's in a good league.
But, my point isn't so much that but more that teams like Bayern only have a set number of match day roster spots. You don't get one of those spots on a consistent basis without talent. So, while I wish we could see what Richards is able to do so we could confidently project him on the USMNT, I trust a team like Bayern that they can evaluate what he brings and that it's pretty significant quality.
Same with Konrad.
This is kind of new as we've never had guys on those teams, even on the bench.
