Breaking Down Miami Heat’s Options with 15th Roster Spot

With the NBA season less than two months away, it’s time to take a look at the possible players who could earn themselves the final spot on the Miami Heat’s 15-man roster.

Working under the assumption that Tyler Johnson and second-round pick Josh Richardson both have spots on the roster, that leaves three players with legitimate chances to be the 15th man: James Ennis, Corey Hawkins, Keith Benson and newly signed Greg Whittington–all of which are working on non-guaranteed contracts (Ennis’ becomes guaranteed if he makes it to opening night).

Each one of these prospects has their own strengths and weaknesses they bring to the team.
