Statistical Predictions for all of Miami's Rotational Players

With all of the chatter and hoopla regarding Dwyane Wade’s demise as an elite player, ‘Flash’ still showed he has some game after all.

While it took awhile for Wade to have a breakout performance, he did just that in the second-to-last preseason game when he scored 26 points on 65 percent shooting in a victory over the Houston Rockets. He followed up that performance by starting 7-of-7 from the field in the Heat’s victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in the preseason finale.

Overall, Wade was the Heat’s second-leading scorer in the preseason, averaging 14 points per game on 51 percent shooting in 24 minutes a contest.

In regards to his goals this upcoming season, Wade had the following to say, via Israel Gutierrez of ESPN.com: “My goal this year is to be available as much as possible.”

So far, so good.
