James Ennis: Stock Up (+)

James Ennis Against the Cleveland Cavaliers

Of all of Miami’s players, there isn’t a single individual that has been more impressive than Ennis. The 24-year-old small forward has been the most consistent performer through the Heat’s first three preseason games. Ennis has averaged 16 points per game, has shot 60 percent from the field, and has averaged six free throw attempts per game.

While those aren’t LBJ numbers, they’re exactly what the Heat need as they look for depth anywhere they can find it. The former second-round draft pick has established himself as an athletic swingman capable of scoring on the fastbreak, while at the same time, proving to be a threat from beyond the arc.

Based upon his play through one week, one can expect the young swingman to be Miami’s top threat off of the bench during the 2014-15 season.
