For years, the talk has been that with some work, Justise Winslow could develop into the Miami Heat’s Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler or Draymond Green.
Little did anyone know that it would be their 2015 second round pick who would be trending in that direction.
To place Josh Richardson in such a light seems a bit too soon, but take a look at him in comparison to Butler, and the two may have more in common than not.
For starters, both players came into the NBA with four-years of college experience and an expected ability to contribute on the defensive end; something that Richardson has already excelled at going into his fourth season.
