Miami Heat: 3 options to fill the final roster spot this season

Who will fill the final Miami Heat roster spot?: Marcus Garrett

Marcus Garrett has been constantly brought up in conversations when talking about a potential spot on the roster. He’s been seriously impressive in Summer League so far.

Ever since he stepped on the floor for Miami, it was clear that he knew what he had to do to turn heads. He did just that by tallying 10 steals through his first two games.

Garrett’s defense is by far the best aspect of his game. He has been picking up opponents full-court for the entirety of Summer League.

He plays a similar style of defense as the Marcus Smart’s and Patrick Beverley’s of the world. Garrett is super aggressive and always manages to get into his opponent’s space and disrupt them.

Being able to get steals is well and good, but Garrett backs it up with elite defense. When he’s not stripping them, he’s able to completely take them out of the possession.

Another great aspect of Garrett’s game is his rebounding ability. Despite being a 6-5 guard, Garrett is a legitimate threat to grab double-digit rebounds in a game.

Offensively, Garrett isn’t the best three-point shooter, but he can knock them down if necessary. His playmaking is probably his best attribute on that end of the floor.

Garrett should 100% be one of Miami’s two-way players at the very least, but he should definitely also be considered for a guaranteed roster spot. He could end up being a really good player for them.
