The Miami Heat starting lineup was due for a change. Especially with Hassan Whiteside out, there lack of size was becoming an issue as Justise Winslow continued to start at power forward.
James Johnson and Kelly Olynyk replaced Winslow and Bam Adebayo in starting lineup. Obviously once Whiteside returns, he will also return to the starting lineup. But I think it’s time the Heat revisit who starts next to him.
And that person should be James Johnson. Johnson appears in the top four 5-man lineups that they Heat are winning the +/-.
