2. Richuan Holmes, Washington Wizards

Richuan Holmes is another possible candidate to receive backup center minutes. Holmes hasn't been a heavy-minutes player since 2022 as a member of the Kings.

When he's flowing and going, his strongest attribute remains his active activity on the floor. He averaged 2.4 offensive rebounds per game during a three-year stretch in Sac Town.

That type of energy could be helpful in Miami. Thomas Bryant was the backup center this season and didn't crash the glass with the same urgency as Holmes. Holmes could be a decent option in non-Bam lineups. It would be nice if a shooter could step in and play with Bam.
