no longer on the scene.

Instead, the Magic saw a guy who seldom looked like the borderline superstar he once was.

Richardson became much more of a 3-point chucker with the Magic, no longer relying on his once explosive legs to get him to the basket.

His scoring average plummeted 5.4 points per game from his 2011 campaign in Phoenix, and his 3-point percentage began to fall, despite having Dwight Howard to suck the defense in.

He played 19 games this past season in Philadelphia, but has little left in the tank.

In his prime, he averaged 23.2 points per game for the Warriors in 2007. But in Orlando. Richardson was just not that caliber of player, hitting 40 percent from the floor in his second season with the Magic.

It paints a picture of mediocrity, but he did what he was acquired to do: hit threes on Howard kick-outs.
