Josh Richardson has heard the Miami Heat’s message loud and clear: Be a more aggressive offensive player.
Richardson got an opportunity to play a leading role in Wednesday’s preseason win over the New Orleans Pelicans. With James Johnson, Dion Waiters and Wayne Ellington still unavailable due to injury, and Dwyane Wade, Goran Dragic, Hassan Whiteside, Rodney McGruder and Justise Winslow resting, Richardson played as the Heat’s primary offensive option.
