There have been no shortage of players who’ve stepped up for the Heat over the course of the past two seasons but at the end of the day, the club may need Josh Richardson and Justise Winslow to settle into roles as rotation players, Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel writes.
While Richardson and Winslow make for intriguing complementary players, the club may benefit most by channeling its offense through some combination of Dion Waiters, Goran Dragic and Hassan Whiteside.
Richardson averaged 12.9 points per game for the Heat as a 24-year-old last season and Winslow chipped in with 7.8 points per game of his own.

- In a feature celebrating the life of former Hornets general manager Bob Bass, who passed away on Friday, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer calls the old school executive the most impactful that the city has had.
That’s for sure, Miami must utilize much more Whiteside on offence, I mean this guy has got some monster numbers while playing little minutes. in per36 last year would have been 20/16, which is pretty unbelievable, I don’t know why Miami don’t use him more. If they did he would be more motivated, also a center that gets more touches & play on the attacking end is always much more engaged in the defensive end, so is a win win for Miami. Make no mistake with their actual roster he is their best player.
You spout some really misinformed opinion. I have to believe most of your basketball knowledge comes from 2K stats
I hope more people read that article about Bass on the bottom, truly was a great basketball mind.
