Q: When will Erik Spoelstra finally understand that size matters and positionless basketball is for teams that lack talent and or size? The starting five that this team needs to develop by playing together should be Tyler Herro at point, Norman Powell at the two, Andrew Wiggins at small forward, Bam Adebayo at power forward and Kel\u2019el Ware at center.\u00a0 Mitchell has been a nice story and deserves playing time, but with the second unit. Herro is not a natural point guard, but he needs the ball in his hands for scoring and assists, and has proven he\u2019s more than capable. The combo of Ware\/Bam had been leading the league in duo rebounding. Wiggins has proven he belongs in the starting five and Powell off ball is one of the best catch-and-shoot 3-point specialists in the NBA. We need a course correction, not a new roster. \u2013 Brian, Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n
A: Sounds reasonable. But also appreciate that the numbers with Kel\u2019el Ware and Bam Adebayo playing together have been poor. Plus, do you reward Kel\u2019el no matter the performance (yes, I know the same could be said for Bam, but there is a previous body of successful work there)? Kel\u2019el was awful against Jay Huff in Indiana, and albeit in limited minutes, nonetheless had only one rebound at Oklahoma City. Still, I think you\u2019re on to something and moving Davion Mitchell to the second unit hardly would be a slap considering the Heat already rewarded him with his free-agent contract this past summer.<\/p>\n
