The Miami Heat is one of the most improved teams this coming season as after missing the playoffs, they are poised to contend for one of the top spots of the conference.

The Heat has a solid starting five of Hassan Whiteside, Chris Bosh, Luol Deng, Dwyane Wade and Goran Dragic. Fans can be excited with the future as their 10^th overall pick, Justise Winslow, and 40^th pick, Josh Richardson.

Heat Zone spoke with both Winslow and Richardson and both players are ecstatic to play with one another as they believe they've got good chemistry together.

Richardson described Winslow's strengths and how he will put his teammate in a position to succeed.

"I think we've got good chemistry," Richardson said. "I know he likes to get the ball down on the block and get post-ups, and he knows I like kick-out 3s. We both like to run the court a lot, so we can play off each other there. I think over the years we can do some great things."

Winslow, meanwhile, said the same of his teammate and praised Richardson's versatility as well.

"He's great," Winslow said of Richardson. "He's an athletic, versatile scorer and he's a hassle when he's on defense. Really gets after it. Me and him have been great, getting here after we got drafted and working out in the preseason trying to get better. It's been great to have him by my side."

Both guys were a steal for the Heat as Winslow was expected to be drafted in the top five, but slid down to top 10, while Richardson was expected to be a late first rounder in the Heat's books but they were able to grab him at 40^th.

Coach Eric Spoelstra also praised Richardson's game and shared how he sees the young rookie will be able to help the team.

"He's a very competitive two-way player and you just don't see those types of guys that often that really want to take on the challenge defensively," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "He'll guard multiple positions and stick his nose in their for loose balls. And offensively, he's got nice poise."
