The Miami Heat didn’t play with a traditional point guard this past season. Could they be looking to change that?

D.J. Augustin

Last Season: 10.5 PPG, 4.6 APG, 2.1 RPG, 39.9 FG%, 34.8 3P%, 89.0 FT%

If the Heat are ready to move on from The Dragon, or if they envision Herro and Duncan having more of a role next season, D.J. Augustin would be a nice option. He wouldn’t be as expensive as Dragic, but that comes at a price of lesser stats.

Augustin would be a nice veteran presence off the bench and he could use a change in scenery.

Jordan Clarkson

Last Season: 15.2 PPG, 1.9 APG, 2.6 RPG, 45.4 FG%, 36.8 3P%, 83.6 FT%

Adding Clarkson would be an underrated move if Miami wanted to pull the trigger. A scorer coming off the bench, Jordan had a nice year for Utah and would definitely be a weapon for Coach Spo.

The downside to Clarkson is if he’s not scoring the ball well, then you’re not getting a whole lot out of him. His playmaking is not exactly what you want in a point guard and he doesn’t rebound well for his position either.

However, if he’s feeling it, he could flip a game or an entire playoff series in the right circumstances.
