Hopefully this is a springboard game for the Heat. If you have to choose between picking 10th in the draft this year or keeping the ‘26 & ‘28 1st round picks, the obvious choice is the latter

I am still annoyed with Ware being a softie.

This would be the ideal anti Rozier depth chart



Mitchell would fit better with the starters i believe since kyle can run the offense on the second unit. the starters just need to be staggered better cause i want to see what kyle can do with Bam and Ware. Could be the best lobs they ever seen since he was doing work in Minnesota with their bigs

Nice to see Wiggins have a breakout game. Imagine if this type of performance became the norm.

I think it should be expected to be the norm. I am expecting him to average 19 pts a game with the Heat.

I wouldn't expect this type of game from him nightly, he expends waaay too much energy on defense. Most casual fans focus on stocks. But if you just follow him on defense, he switches 1 to 4 and will help and contest shots from anywhere on the floor. It's also why his rebounds don't tell the story. When he is in the paint against bigger players, he will tip out or box out. When he's on the perimeter, he will sideline to sideline sprint to contest a 3. Fans who are most disappointed with Wiggins are often boxscore watchers/fantasy players.
