The Heat will be playing without Dwyane Wade for most, if not all of November so they need everyone else to stay healthy and motivated from day #1. Jason “White Chocolate” Williams must stay healthy because he runs the show as the point guard. He played in 61 games (55 starts) for the Heat last season and he averaged 30.6 minutes, 10.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. Ricky Davis will start at shooting guard until D-Wade returns and he will then move to small forward. He will give the Heat a good third option on offense this season. He played in 81 games (all starts) for the T-Wolves last year and he averaged 37.3 minutes, 17.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Dorell Wright will start at small forward until D-Wade returns. He’s an athletic freak on the basketball court but he needs to turn that into results. Wright played in 66 games (19 starts) last season for the Heat and he averaged 19.6 minutes, 6.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. Udonis Haslem will start again at power forward for the Heat and he does all of the dirty work as he rebounds and plays defense. He played in 79 games (all starts) last season for the Heat and he averaged 31.4 minutes, 10.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. The key to the whole show is Shaquille O’Neal. If he can stay healthy and motivated the Heat will be a championship contender. But, if he takes games off and doesn’t put out 100% in every game….the Heat will be lucky to make the playoffs. He played in 40 games (39 starts) last season for the Heat and he averaged 28.4 minutes, 17.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 blocked shots per game.
