Goran Dragic had an injury-riddled season to forget in 2018-19 for the Miami Heat. He only played 36 games, starting just 22 of them as he was supplanted in the starting point guard spot by Justise Winslow, only reclaiming the job late in the season when the Heat were wracked from top to bottom by injury.
After the NBA draft in June, team president Pat Riley stated that he expects Dragic to be the starting point guard once again next season, so with that endorsement he could be considered the front-runner at this early stage.
