31-year old shooting guard Jason Richardson has really stepped up so far in February for the Orlando Magic.  In his first 7 games (all starts) this month, Richardson is averaging 30.6 minutes, 18.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game.  Richardson has now played in 24 games (all starts) for the Magic so far this year and he is averaging 29.0 minutes, 12.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steal per game.  The Magic need Richardson to keep playing at a high level as they try not only to make the playoffs…..but to convince Dwight Howard to stick around a while longer.
