Miami Heat’s Josh Richardson named NBA rookie of the month

March was quite the month for Miami Heat second round pick Josh Richardson.

After playing a limited reserve role for most the season, Richardson put in the work with coach Erik Spoelstra to become the team’s most reliable 3-point shooter in his breakout, post-All-Star break run. In March, Richardson averaged 12 points on 58.9 percent shooting from beyond the arc, along with 2.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 29.1 minutes per game.
