How did Jason Richardson rank so high when he only played one season and change with Charlotte, and was unable to take them to the playoffs? The answer is that while he couldn’t take the team to the postseason, Richardson did put together one of the better offensive seasons in franchise history and for an organization that hasn’t had that many, it is enough to elevate him in this rank.

It is also worth noting that in Richardson’s lone full campaign with Charlotte he would lead the NBA in Three-Pointers.
