Ranking 7 Miami Heat free agents by likelihood to return next season

3. Haywood Highsmith

Haywood Highsmith wants to be back in Miami, but would the Heat match any offer he gets? They should. Highsmith never stops on the floor. He slides his feet on defense. He's a pickpocket expert. Haywood mirrors some of the best scorers in the league when he matches up with them. There's no questioning his defense, but three-point shooting is the skill that determines if he can stay on the floor or not.

Haywood shot well from three to close the regular season but plummeted to 18% during the pivotal playoffs. That's when we want players to be at their best, but the spacing and driving wasn't the same with Jimmy Butler out of the lineup. I don't think Haywood is the 40% shooter he was in the regular season or the 18% shooter he was in the playoffs. He's somewhere in the middle and worth the contact, and he desires to stay in Miami. Don't let a good one get away.
