Goran Dragic doesn’t step up
With almost $90 million on the line between Dragic and the Heat, it’s been tough to say he’s quite lived up to that value so far.
Last year, we saw him put up his lowest statistical averages in years. Putting up just 14.1 points and 5.8 assists per game, the Dragon saw his shooting percentage drop nearly three points as well.
While his performances in Game 7 against Charlotte and Game 6 against Toronto definitely warrant respect, Dragic never found that level of consistency he possessed while with the Phoenix Suns. Now on the wrong side of 30, it may be now or never for the former All-NBA point guard.
Everyone assumes that without Wade in the backcourt, Dragic will be able to take control and play a game up to his tempo. If that doesn’t happen, the Heat could be lacking an identity on offense.
