With the preseason over and after trimming the roster to the 15-man limit, the Miami Heat’s roster has taken shape and, on paper, it looks much more promising than last season’s rendition.
There are questions. Spacing is a major issue, and fitting together some great–though suspiciously fitting–parts to build a well-running car is easier said than done. Goran Dragic and Dwyane Wade have yet to get in step in the backcourt, the second unit is explosive offensively but porous defensively and the starting unit is plodding.
However, this is a roster whose best quality is basketball know-how.
