Richardson agreed to a four-year, $42 million contract extension with the Heat on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson struggled shooting the rock last year, hitting just 39.4 percent of his looks from the field and 33.0 percent of his threes en route to 10.2 points per game. He also dealt with injury issues during 2016-17, resulting in him appearing in only 53 games. That said, the Heat seem to believe in Richardson's upside as a player (touted as a scorer out of college) and have opted to secure him for four more campaigns. Part of that may be due to his ability to play multiple positions with his 6-foot-6, 200-pound frame. He wasn't much of a fantasy asset last season and may struggle to find playing time with the Heat's deep backcourt, which includes the likes of Goran Dragic, Tyler Johnson, Dion Waiters and Justise Winslow.
