We’re only a week into the NBA Summer League, and second-rounder Josh Richardson has already started to make a name for himself.

Through six games, Richardson is averaging 11.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.5 steals per contest. Even though summer league stats should be taken with a grain of salt, Richardson’s play has been fairly impressive.

His best game came Saturday night, July 11, in Las Vegas versus the Utah Jazz, when he racked up 16 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks, all while shooting 50 percent.

Not only has Richardson been one of the Heat’s best scorers this summer, but he’s also been able to remain relatively efficient, shooting at a clip of 44.4 percent from the field. Unfortunately, Richardson has struggled from deep, connecting on only 25 percent of his long-range attempts.

One of his biggest weaknesses coming out of college at Tennessee was his inconsistency from beyond the arc. Even though Richardson improved his 3-point shooting from 24.3 percent his freshman year, to 35.9 percent as a senior, he has never been known for his outside game.

At 6-foot-6, 200 pounds, Richardson has good size and length along with NBA-level quickness and athleticism. If he can improve his fundamentals, and learn how to be a more efficient scorer, he could prove himself to be a NBA-caliber player.

The Heat have made several key acquisitions this summer, leaving very few, if any, roster spots available for Richardson. Not only are they lacking vacancies on the roster, but with the signing of Gerald Green, the Heat now have three 2-guards along with Dwyane Wade and rookie Justise Winslow.

Richardson may have to spend his rookie season in the D-League, but this could be for the best. At Tennessee, Richardson was forced to play mostly in a zone defense, so he hasn’t had many opportunities to work on his 1-on-1 defense. A year in the D-League would allow Richardson to develop his fundamentals, and learn how to play in an NBA-style defense.

Luckily for Richardson, there’s still plenty of Summer to prove his worth to the Miami Heat’s coaching staff.
