Erik Spoelstra has already given it fleeting thought, envisioning the possibilities when the Heat’s All-Star point guard returns from injury.
When that happens, likely in mid-February, Goran Dragic will be returning to a team that has uncovered something it didn’t know it had when he underwent knee surgery: A second NBA-worthy starting point guard, a player ascending to heights some never could have envisioned.
Justise Winslow’s ability to capably play the position has been the biggest revelation of this Heat season, and it will create interesting decisions when Dragic returns. Since Dragic can also play off the ball effectively, a Winslow/Dragic backcourt pairing — with Winslow continuing to shoulder a lot of the ball-handling responsibilities — could work.
