MIAMI — Q: I think that from the top down, the Heat have a problem with young players. Having always been built under Pat Riley's veteran-focused strategy, Erik Spoelstra, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and other leaders have little patience for younger players. A young player is not an experienced veteran. The expectations placed on Michael Beasley were heavy for a one-and-done college player, and expectations of Hassan Whiteside to be a leader are also misplaced. He barely made it to the NBA. He may be eligible for a max salary due to the finances of the NBA cap growth, but he has a lot to learn to become a veteran and a leader in the NBA. But he has tremendous upside. The Heat tends to bypass their young talent. With the finances and future picks for the Heat being so sparse, I think it's time the Heat rethink its approach to younger players -- Paul, Fort Lauderdale.
