Top 10 Miami Heat small forwards of all time
By Simon Smith
9. James Posey
Acquired in the largest trade in NBA history involving 13 players, James Posey proved to be an exceptional acquisition, playing a key role in the Heat claiming their first title in 2006.
Starting 63 out of 67 in his first season, Posey proved to be a vital cog of what would become the eventual NBA champions. His ability to play high-quality win defense, combined with his excellent three-point shooting (40.3 percent in 2005-06) and overall experience was an ideal compliment to Heat all-stars Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O’Neal.
Although he came off the bench predominately throughout the playoffs, his defensive efforts in particular certainly did not go unnoticed.
2 seasons; 138 games; 7.5 points per game; 4.9 rebounds per game; 39.0 three-point percentage; 27.8 minutes per game; 1 NBA title
