• Eighty five NBA players are averaging at least 30 minutes per game.

Among those, nobody is shooting worse than Heat forward Justise Winslow, who’s now at 35.2 percent from the field (75 for 204) after going 2 for 10 and 0 for 9 the past two games.

He’s at 20 percent on threes (7 for 35).

just wow.

I know players extremely hungry to do EVERYTHING it takes to improve their shot and they don't get paid. Winslow needed and needs to dedicate all his time into improving his shot....it is after all his job.

Not just his shot, his all around offensive game.

• Not only did Justise Winslow finish his short-circuited second NBA season with the third-lowest shooting percentage of any starting small forward (35.4, ahead of only Robert Covington and Al Farouq Aminu), but this was more surprising: Players guarded by him shot 49.2 percent, worst among all starting small forwards. He has much to prove next season.

Need to take the pressure back off Winslow next year and bring him off the bench. Let him concentrate again on his strengths which is defending and play making. Not worry so much about having to be the next heat star.

Idk how much I would look into those numbers...he played like 15 games and had a bum wrist too.

Not saying he's not a bad shooter, but the sample size is too small for him this season

I want to see JJ back here for less than $16,000,000 and Otto Porter given the max to sign here this off-season.

PG: Ball
SG: Dragic
SF: Porter
PF: Johnson
C: Whiteside

No one shoots less than 38% from 3 in that line-up and every player is a very efficient shooter.

Yea' really small sample size for a sopho, I liked what he did in a vacuum this year. Would only bench him if we have/get a better player who'll be here lng term

Anyone knows if Gordon gonna make the All-star team? IMO heat need to position themselves to resign Johnson and sign either Gordon or Harkless.

I don't see why Utah won't max him out, not like better is in the pipeline

If he doesn't make the All-star the Heat can offee him about the same contract.

I'm too lazy to look up the state taxes for Utah (I'm sure gom has a spreadsheet with a tab for each state), but I wouldn't be surprised to see the take home barely different.

I think Boston, & a Stevens reunite would be tempting as well.

I think what Also he may consider is where can he more likely become an All-Star.

I'm very intrigue with a starting lineup; Dragic, Richardson or Winslow, Hayward, Johnson and Whiteside.

Signing Gordan H is a total pipe dream. Give it up. He either stays with Utah for an insane amount of money or reunites with Stevens in Boston. He has zero ties to Miami or anyone on the Heat.

Agree. I see zero reason or motivation for him to leave Utah. He's grown a lot there and they have a solid team.

Yeah, Gallo is the best availible FA for us, imo

Blake is - he's not going to make the requirements for the supermax, and California has crazy tax compared to Florida. CP3 is so far above Dragic, but there's no way they're getting out of the West unless they manage to pull a mega trade to add a third true star, without costing any of their key players.

Then there's also the threat of CP opting out and chasing rings, and the reality that Reddick is going to get a huge payday somewhere if not in LA, and that they are capped out with no way of adding anything except through trades or the MLE.

He may not have ties to the Clippers, but he's a legit target for us, and he should be - with Dragic, Griffin and Whiteside Miami will be back to being an attractive destination for free agents or disgruntled stars (Wall or PG could become a real trade target using our pick, Winslow, Dragic).

Where could we get cap space for Wall/PG?
