A: I never scoffed at the idea of Willie being a capable backup. What I scoffed at was Erik Spoelstra always having a center in the game. And I'm still not sure that will be the case if any of the power forwards (yes, including Josh McRoberts) prove capable of moving into the middle with productive minutes. But, yes, if the Heat's power forwards continue as they have over the first week of the season, then Reed is the best Plan B when Whiteside goes out. But keep in mind, just as we talk about the Heat going small, plenty of opponents will, as well. And for all that Reed has shown these first three games, I'm not sure he is a player you want defending Kevin Love or Kristaps Porzingis. That's where there has to be a more versatile Plan B.
