A Haywood Highsmith Role Increase In Order If Miami Heat Fail To Make A Deal

But let’s be clear and though many out there feel the complete opposite, they could still be fine without a move if they can find some sort of consistency in their health and game-to-game discipline on both sides of the ball. But again, that’s neither here nor there.

If they don’t make a move though, there may be an inter-roster shakeup that might be worth considering.

When you look at Caleb Martin as the starting four, he has performed admirably, when available.

However, what he does as far as being an electric athlete on offense with an improving jumper and a versatile defender on the other side, that may work better with the second unit. Specifically, looking at situations with Bam Adebayo in the game, someone doing their best work attacking the cup might not be the most conducive to maximizing what it is that Adebayo does.

But that carries you here. And that would be to the doorstep of Haywood Highsmith.
