Philadelphia 76ers: Josh Richardson has influence on young wings

Acquiring Josh Richardson this past summer was one of the biggest moves made by the Philadelphia 76ers. The four-year veteran is already in the top teir of perimeter defenders in the league, while also being a well rounded offensive player. Despite not being on the Sixers for very long, he’s becoming a role model for the team’s younger perimeter players.

During 76ers media day, Shake Milton revealed that he’s modeling his own game after Richardson’s and that “he looks up to” the two-way star, per Noah Levick of NBCSPhilly. Milton is a shooting guard with combo guard potential.
