Josh Richardson Is Entering A Cool-Off Period
7 years agoMiami Heat forward Josh Richardson is still producing but is already seeing the effect of James Johnson returning to the rotation. Richardson was posting outrageously awesome stat lines for some time, but his usage has already taken a dramatic drop over the last week, and his production will suffer moving forward. The Heat are also waiting for the return of Dion Waiters and Justise Winslow, so Richardson's opportunities will slowly trickle down, moving him back to the role he had before the injuries occurred. Richardson is a streaky shooter with a knack for playmaking, and because he is always hustling on both sides of the ball, it's nearly impossible for him to post complete duds. He will get stats moving forward, but they will not be the Richardson stats that you've likely grown accustomed to recently.
