Goran Dragic’s impending return after the All-Star break will give the Heat a gifted offensive player who can shoot with range, set up teammates in the half court and deftly run the fast break.
But it will do something else, too: Create a potential conundrum for coach Erik Spoelstra.
Heat guard Justise Winslow, who has started and thrived in Dragic’s absence, admitted this past week that “I would like to start” even when Dragic returns.
Winslow said Spoelstra hasn’t told him what he’s thinking regarding potential lineup changes, and Spoelstra has declined to speak much about Dragic beyond saying he’s making great progress in his recovery from December knee surgery.
