2 Heat players who deserve more minutes, 1 player who should rest

Nikola Jovic deserves more minutes

Nikola Jovic brings a lot of different tools to Miami's starting lineup. Jovic's strengths include stretching the floor, being a playmaker, and pushing the ball in transition. Defensively, he has gotten better as of late. Jovic also gives Miami much-needed size.

Jovic cracking the starting lineup has been a pleasant surprise after not getting a lot of playing time to start the season. Jovic only plays about 15-21 minutes a game. I’d like to see Jovic get real starter's minutes.

I understand defensively he makes mistakes but young players need to play through them. Jovic doesn’t like to play center but since Kevin Love has been out Miami hasn’t had quality minutes from the backup center. Thomas Bryant and Orlando Robinson haven't been great. Jovic getting those minutes would provide more spacing and give him more opportunities to make an impact. The more playing time, the better for Jovic.
