A: First, Beno played well in his minutes with the Heat, at times even outperforming Goran Dragic. Second, for games that Dragic might have to miss, Udrih would make the most sense as far as his ability to get the team into offense. The equation was different when Dwyane Wade was on the roster, where you could more easily pair him with pseudo-point types such as Tyler Johnson or Josh Richardson, because of Wade's ability to handle and advance the ball full court. To me, the addition of Udrih is an indication of the Heat trying to continue in win-now mode, with many of the younger players who excelled in summer league likely to farmed out. I think to maximize the growth of Hassan Whiteside, you have to pair him with a pass-first playmaker. No one on this roster fits that job description more than Beno. That's why the signing made sense on many levels. As would playing him in the primary rotation.
