3 Heat players whose stock is rising at Summer League, 1 whose spot is in danger
By Wes Goldberg
Up: Isaiah Stevens
Owner of Las Vegas Summer League’s best assist-to-turnover ratio (average of 9 assists to 1 turnover), Isaiah Stevens has impressed with his pace, ball-handling and understanding of the game.
A traditional point guard by trade, Stevens is only averaging 4.5 shot attempts per game and, at 6-foot-0, will be undersized at the NBA level, but the 23-year-old rookie just knows how to play basketball.
Whether or not Stevens can earn one of Miami’s two-way contracts may come down to team need more than his performance. If the Heat believe they can use a pure point guard on the roster, Stevens provides a steady presence.
