There is no other Goran Dragic. His game is unique to only him.
He’s a progressive point guard who was thrust onto a team going through a rather conservative change in philosophy. The Heat were a middling team and needed a demonstrative change in the backcourt. What they received was a Steve Nash prototype with an upgrade in the operating system. The core offensive philosophy Nash made so popular – increased pace equals increased opportunities – now lives through Dragic. But the Heat didn’t get the conductor of the 7-seconds-or-less-Suns at the trade deadline, there is no other Steve Nash.
