Miami Heat
Assuming that the Miami Heat don’t trade for Jimmy Butler, I have a feeling that Josh Richardson is in line for a big year this season. He has all the traits to be a really good player, but the big question surrounding him throughout the last two seasons is whether he can make the jump from really good to great.
And that’s a question that will likely be answered this season, or at least the Heat would like it to be answered this year. The great thing about Richardson is that he’s a lethal two-way player, and isn’t just great on one end of the floor.
That’s potentially what makes him even more valuable. If the Heat don’t get Butler via trade, their success this season will likely fall on the shoulders of Richardson’s development.
