Needing Depth At His Spot, Miami Heat May Be ‘Saving’ Jamal Cain’s 50 Games

So, what exactly is Cain’s biggest question for this season? Here it is.

Biggest Question For Jamal Cain: When Will He Actually Play For This Miami Heat Team?

Because we haven’t actually seen Cain get time with the big club in the regular year thus far, the question is more than worth asking. What makes it just that much more worth it is the fact that they are deficient in an area where Cain could certainly help them.

Not only being a forward and one capable of guarding, perhaps, every position on the opposing offense, but his versatility also extends to the offensive side of the ball as well. An ever-improving outside shooter, he also offers some slashing, cutting, and dribble-driving ability that he can finish way up over the top of the rim with his athleticism.

Needless the say, the Miami Heat could use a guy of Cain’s ilk—but they just haven’t gone to it yet. With two-way guys eligible to be active in 50 of their club’s games, it wouldn’t shock me if the Heat are biding their time with Cain and saving his games for when they really matter the most, especially considering their need at his position.

All of the aforementioned though, is what makes this his big question this season.
