Sherman Douglas Miami Heat

Sherman Douglas was a second-round draft pick by the Heat in the 1989 Draft who ended up becoming the team’s starting point guard during his first two seasons in Miami.

At just 6-foot and 180 pounds, Douglas was an electrifying scorer. He averaged 16.0 points and 7.9 assists in 159 games and 141 starts for the franchise.

Just five games into the 1991-92 season, the point guard was traded to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Brian Shaw.
