Much like Winslow, Josh Richardson is another Heat player who will look to capitalize on a massive increase in playing time. Richardson is projected to see 10.1 more minutes per game, the largest boost amongst the players in this list.
Along with the additional minutes, Richardson will have more shot attempts from deep -- last season he made 52 three-pointers in 53 games while shooting an impressive 46%. Richardson will be out for the season opener, but that shouldn't dampen his season-long outlook much.
