Miami Heat Draft Josh Richardson in 2nd Round
The Miami Heat continue to add depth at the shooting guard position by selecting Tennessee’s Josh Richardson with the 40th overall pick of the second round of the NBA Draft.
Richardson is a four-year player from Tennessee. At 6-foot-6 with a 6-foot-10 wingspan and at 200 pounds, Richardson had an intriguing frame. He’s an excellent athlete with good speed while handling the ball.
Even though he’s listed as a shooting guard, he handled the ball while running Tennessee’s offense quite a bit.
As a result, he’s comfortable handling the ball while running the pick-and-roll. However, he isn’t a prolific passer (3.6 assists to 2.7 turnovers per game) and struggles to finish at the rim.
