Ever since his legs dangled in front of the face of an unsuspecting Rasual Butler in the first game of last season, James Ennis has been a darling of Miami Heat fans.
He plays fast. He plays hard. He jumps high. If he was a player of the 1970’s, he would be a starter for a Bill Walton-esque team. But he’s not a player of the 70s. It’s 2015, the Heat are loaded with wings and Ennis may not make the team.
This isn’t a surprise. The Heat already persuaded Ennis to postpone his contract guarantee deadline until the regular season, giving them more time to evaluate him rather than cut him before training camp.
