For a player picked No. 40 in his draft, former Philadelphia 76ers guard Josh Richardson had one impressive career.
Richardson announced his retirement from basketball on Instagram on Wednesday night after 10 years in the league. He spent the first four seasons of his career with the Miami Heat before he was sent to the Sixers in the infamous Jimmy Butler sign-and-trade deal.
