What will Luke Babbitt’s role be in return to the Heat? His coach hopes it means plenty of shooting.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was pretty clear on Friday what he wants to see from Luke Babbitt now that the 6-9 forward is back with the Heat.

"I was walking out of the gym and he was working on some shot fake, ‘Hey, leave that shot fake outside this building. Let it fly,’" Spoelstra said. "See how much Wayne has changed in the period Luke was gone. Wayne went from how many ever threes a game or per 20 minutes, double that. I’d love to see that from Luke as well."

Babbitt, who the Hawks traded back to Miami on Thursday for injured forward Okaro White, was a 41.
