Heat's Justise Winslow named to NBA All-Rookie Second Team, Josh Richardson falls short in voting

Miami's first round pick was named to the squad but there was no room for second round pick Josh Richardson.

The NBA named Miami Heat rookie Justise Winslow to the Kia NBA All-Rookie Second Team for the 2015-16 season, finishing with 151 points, including 44 First Team votes.

He becomes the 11th rookie in franchise history to be selected on a All-Rookie team and sixth to be named on the Second Team. He had the most points of his fellow rookies on the Second Team.

Unfortunately the Heat's other prized rookie, second round pick Josh Richardson was not selected even though he played significant minutes for Miami in the second half of the season when both Tyler Johnson and Beno Udrih were out with serious injuries.
