A: First, did anyone think the Heat's situation at shooting guard was beyond repair? With Dion Waiters and Tyler Johnson, there certainly are serviceable options, plus the floor-stretching abilities of Wayne Ellington. No, there is no Dwyane Wade on this roster. But there is enough to withstand Josh Richardson missing the first week of the regular season, which appears to be the worst-case estimate at the most with his partially torn right MCL. There, however, could be legitimate concern on the defensive end when it comes to needing a stop at the position. Tyler Johnson has had his moments on the defensive end, but an argument could be made that of all of the Heat's guards in the absence of Richardson, only Briante Weber brings a true defensive disposition. Justise Winslow likely will take the toughest defensive cover at such moments, but that still could also have the likes of Waiters or Goran Dragic on the floor at such moments.
