Miami Heat excited about Dragic-Waiters backcourt

MIAMI - Heat guard Dion Waiters said weeks ago that he never asked for any assurances about starting when he signed here, and that he would be fine with a starting or bench role.

But on Monday, he expressed excitement about the prospect of starting, at least to begin the season, and spoke of the vast potential of a backcourt pairing with Goran Dragic.

“It's going to be fun,” Waiters said, when asked about the satisfaction of being a starter again. “I worked extremely hard this summer. I feel as though everything clicked. I'm back to having fun, being myself, just the energy, the vibe, it's like a beautiful thing. I'm in the best shape of my life. I’m excited to get going.”

Coach Erik Spoelstra likes what he has seen from the Waiters/Dragic backcourt. Spoelstra inserted Waiters in the starting lineup after three games in preseason, and he ended up starting the final four games in which he appeared before sitting out the finale against Philadelphia for rest purposes.

“Their skill sets have matched where both are able to be aggressive and both have been able to play off the ball and feel that they can still be involved,” Spoelstra said. “So that's encouraging. Dion has shown he can defend multiple positions, which is important. He can guard on the ball. He can guard a bigger player on the post.

“So those guys just need more time. I like seeing them play together during training camp and their chemistry is getting better. Maybe Dion is learning some Slovenian too.”...

Weird move as the Suns seemed high on him It's unfortunate Miami roster is full as he's got a lot of potential, averaged 9 ppg last year. Downsides are horrible outside shooting and questions as to his character, seemed difficult to coach and unhappy with playing time.
