What can Tyler Johnson provide for the Heat?

Tyler Johnson was a pleasant surprise for the Heat last season. Now with a changed roster we take a look at the ways he can contribute in the upcoming season.

One of the standouts from last season's disappointing season was undrafted Tyler Johnson. Coming out of Fresno State the 6'3, 190 pound shooting guard impressed in the 2014 summer league before being waived in favor of NBA veteran Shannon Brown. During the time Johnson spent with Miami's D-League affiliate Sioux Falls SkyForce, he played exceptionally well averaging 18.5 points, 4.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds. The Heat took notice and decided to sign him to a 10 day contract in January.
