The Miami Heat have one final roster spot left to fill before heading into this season. While it is not required that they fill this spot, it’s always nice to have a little bit of extra depth on the roster.
The same names have been floating around when discussing who could fill this slot. James Ennis is a name that has come up a lot, and Avery Bradley was, too, before he signed with the Warriors.
However, wouldn’t it be just like Pat Riley to sign someone that no fans saw coming. Someone completely random, and yet someone who would end up helping the team.
Who would these players be? Who are 5 unexpected players the Miami Heat could sign to fill the final spot on the roster?
Unexpected free agents the Miami Heat could sign: Brad Wanamaker
Is this signing extremely boring? Yes. Could Brad Wanamaker actually help the Miami Heat in certain areas? Absolutely.
Wanamaker spent the first couple seasons of his NBA career with the Boston Celtics. Last year, he was traded from the Warriors to the Hornets and is now a free agent.
He struggled a lot shooting the ball last year, but was lights out from deep during his time in Boston. If he can get back to that type of player, his shooting would be a huge help in Miami.
The veteran point guard doesn’t do anything great (except hit free throws), but he does a lot of things well. Having him on the team to come off the bench couldn’t hurt.
