Miami Heat’s Josh Richardson made this season one to remember

The No. 40 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, Josh Richardson’s transition into the league via the Miami Heat went almost unnoticed.

Despite having a strong college career with the University of Tennessee, averaging 16.0 points and 4.6 rebounds as a senior (being named to First Team All SEC, SEC All-Defensive Team and Defensive All-American Team), the former Volunteer was hardly a household name.

However now, almost three years later, Richardson’s versatility is starting to be recognized league-wide.

While Rook 2 (a nickname he made never be able to shake off) showed glimpses of his full potential during his first season, the 24-year-old’s development since, is incredible.
