Top 5 Miami Heat Point Guards of All Time

2. Sherman Douglas

Sherman Douglas’ time in Miami was short, just two full seasons, but very productive. That productivity eventually led to his time with the Heat coming to an end. Douglas was a second round pick in 1989 but became a major contributor for the Heat right away, averaging 14.3 points and 7.6 assists and landing on the NBA’s All-Rookie first team. His second season was even better, leading the Heat with 18.5 points per game and 8.5 assists and being named the team’s most valuable player. Douglas, clearly out-performing his rookie contract, held out before the 1991-92 season and was traded to the Boston Celtics for Brian Shaw.

After just two seasons, Douglas ranks sixth in assists in Heat history and is still the leader in career average for assists per game. Douglas averaged 16 points and 7.9 assists per game in Miami.

Douglas’ career in Miami could have been much more successful if he the Heat could have come to a contract agreement, but he likely still would not have done more than the top guy on this list.
