A: First start with the obvious: The Heat do not have a backup point guard. Tyler Johnson is not a point guard, lacking the ballhandling skills under pressure. Josh Richardson, is not point guard, not when it comes to finding those scant openings for passes against NBA-level defense. But then consider the rest of the equation: With this roster, the Heat don't need a delineated backup point guard, not with the ability of James Johnson and Dion Waiters to handle. And Erik Spoelstra did a good job of that Sunday in Indiana, at times having as many as three ballhandlers on the court during the minutes Tyler Johnson and Josh Richardson played. And remember, this roster also was built around the ballhandling of Justise Winslow and Josh McRoberts. While I had been the one for years who cited the need for a third-string point guard, I have no issue with the current mix, with Waiters more of a playmaker than I envisioned, and with James Johnson practically demanding the ball in his hands.
