2. Will Justise Winslow Play His Way Into the Rotation?

One of the key thoughts on Heat’s Nation’s mind is whether or not Winslow will be a key member of the rotation.

The Heat have McRoberts, Stoudemire and Green as top backups off the bench. McRoberts and Green are more than capable of playing the three position.

It’s uncertain whether Erik Spoelstra will go with a typical eight-man rotation or an unconventional rotation that features more players.

Winslow is a versatile player, who specializes in many areas. He can spot up, shoot the three, excel on the fast break and play excellent defense on guards and smaller forwards.

Ideally speaking, Winslow should be the primary backup behind Luol Deng, but it will largely depend on how other backup swingmen perform in training camp and preseason.
