Now that Haslem is back from his high ankle injury, where will Marion be place at? Marion at his natural SF or replace Haslem's PF? In the next few games, I expect Riley to shake up the roster and experiment. Most likely Haslem will start and Wright coming off the bench. If there's a time to experiment the roles of each player, "Now's the time!" Marcus Banks has been pretty good coming off the bench. In some instances, he plays good D and getting steals. I think it would be a good idea to have him start a couple of games and see what he brings to the table. J-Will "MIGHT" not be here next year, and for sure Smush Parker will be either traded or bought out.
I like to see this lineup: Blount, Haslem, Marion, Wade, Banks for a few games. This sounds like a running team but is it effective? I don't know. But it's worth the experiment. We've seen Chris Quinn coming off the bench pretty good, Dorell is getting better, Barron & Anthony are inexperience, but all of this is evaluation period. This is good because there will be adjustments and decisions to be made this off-season. With the remaining of these games, I expect Riley to take full advantage and rebuild the Heat fast.
