While the focus on NBA basketball continues to shift west, the Philadelphia 76ers have built a strong contender on the east coast. There’s a lot of talent on the roster, which makes Josh Richardson‘s relatively underrated status understandable.
Richardson spent last season as the No. 1 option on a middle-of-the-pack Miami team. He averaged 16.6 points and 4.1 assists, but saw his efficiency suffer under the burden of expanded responsibilities.
Even so, Richardson still hit 35.7 percent of his 3s — that’s around the league average — on a healthy volume of attempts.
