18. Miami Heat
Starting Backcourt: Goran Dragic and Tyler Johnson
With Dwyane Wade gone, Goran Dragic has been left with primary ball handling duties all to himself for the first time since making the move to Miami.
Dragic’s days with the Suns proved that the more the rock is placed in his hands, the better the outcome. He averaged 20.3 points a game, won Most Improved Player and garnered an All-NBA nod in his last full season in Phoenix – when he was running the show.
He simply didn’t have that luxury last season with the Heat. Perhaps that’s something to monitor this year.
Next to him will be either newly re-signed Tyler Johnson or sophomore Josh Richardson, but make no mistake the fortunes of the Miami Heat are solely in the hands of the newly appointed floor general.
Next: No. 17
