Sharpshooter Wayne Ellington was a nice pickup for the Heat in the offseason. He’s the highest paid player on this list for a reason. This is a guy who’s carved himself out a decent career as a 3-point specialist. In the last two seasons alone, he’s made 186 3-pointers. Again, the Heat have struggled with the three-ball for some time now and Ellington was brought in to help shore up some of those deficiencies.

Because the Heat are attempting to surround Whiteside with shooters this season, Ellington will likely see significant minutes in 2016-17. This is a guy who has played for eight teams in eight years, so one can expect that he will do everything in his power to finally prove to a team that he’s worth holding onto.
