Resolution: Find minutes for James Ennis and Shabazz Napier

The Miami Heat need to find minutes for their talented rookies Shabazz Napier and James Ennis. I’m not sure why Heat coach Eric Spoelstra is so infatuated with Norris Cole and Mario Chalmers, but that needs to come to a swift end. The worst is that Chalmers-Cole lineup, when neither guard can hit a consistent jumper if their life depended on it.

With the resurgence of Danny Granger minutes for Ennis could be scarce, but Spo needs to find whatever extra time he can find in the rotation for the talented young wing.
