|
Name | Position/Number | Height | Weight | College
Pictures will be up soon
|
|
Alonzo Mourning C 33 6’10 261 Georgetown
The centerpiece of the team,Alonzo Mourning has a
kidney ailment.He has received treatement for the disease.We don’t know if he
will return or not this year.
|
|
Brian Grant F/C 44 6’9 250 Xavier
Brain moved to starting center after the failed
Duane Causwell experiment.Was great last season,no all-star spot,but is a key
player.A great rebounder,inside scorer,free-throw shooter,and intense player.Also
has a great jumpshot.Moved to the bench and play deteriorated.Will be the
starting PF this year.
|
|
Anthony Mason F 14 6’8 255
Tennessee St.
Was the workhorse all season long,earning his first
All-Star spot.When playoff time came,his game deteriorated.Likely won’t
return this year.
|
|
Eddie Jones G 6 6’7 194 Temple
Led the Heat in scoring,steals,FT %,and three-point
%.However,he wasn’t the player the Heat expected.The heat is on Jones to
perform better next year,and to except a leadership role.
|
|
Tim Hardaway G 10 6’0 195 Texas-El Paso
The X-Factor the passed few seasons,due to his
late-season injury collapses.He always seems to get injured at playoff
time.This year his foot gave out a week before the playoffs began,after only
missing 3 games all season.Last resort signee,meaning its doubtful for his
return next year.
|
|
Anthony Carter G 25 6’1 190 Hawaii
Carter has a great rookie season in 2000,but 2001
was no walk in the park.His number were significantly lower than the previous
year.He also had some injury problems.When playoff time came,he was a big
factor – he had several turnovers and rarely scored.Needs to improve just
about everywhere.Signed a 3-year extension for this season.
|
|
Bruce Bowen: G/F 12 6’7 200 Cal St.-Fullerton
Bowen is a good defender: he puts pressure on
players,forcing turnovers.But his offense isn’t great.He also struggled
during the playoffs.Rumored to sign with the Spurs.
|
|
A.C. Green F 45 6’9 225 Oregon St.
A veteran who can provide the Heat with
leadership,Green can rebound and score inside,but will always be used as a
role player.Has not scored efficently,but has been used as a locker room presence.Hasn’t
missed a game since 1986.
|
|
Eddie House G 6’1 180 Arizona St.
House was Mr.Popular last year when he showed off his
scoring skills and speed.Has a great engine and can ball-handle nicely,though
he really is a SG.Expect him to be sucessful next year as he adjusts to the NBA.
|
|
Cedric Ceballos F 23 6’7 220 Cal St.-Fullerton
The Garbageman of the NBA came to the Heat to resurrect
his game,and suceeded.Now he has to hope Riley re-signs him,because no other teams
really knows of his capability.
|
|
Duane Causwell C 4 7’0 255 Temple00
Our crappy backup center is rumored to be gone next
year,hopefully.Causwell has the size,but doesn’t have the ability or skill.He’s
offensively challenged and defense isnt that great either.We hope he’s out of
here for good.
|
|
Todd Fuller C 35 6-11 255 North Carolina St.
Todd is one of those NBA washouts just looking for
a team to thrive on.Todd has been an injury risk,and is looking for a team to
sit on the bench for.Can score inside,and can block and steal.Had a strong
preseason.Seldom used.
|
|
Don MacLean F 7 6-7 240 UCLA
Like Fuller,Don is another washout and injury
risk.Can score from the 3,and sometimes inside. Has been on the injured list
most of the year.Then he decided no to opt out of his contract,so he’ll be back
next year.If only,if only.
|
|
Ricky Davis G/F 21 6’5 215 Iowa St.
Is an athletic player.He’s also the most expendable
player with trade value on the roster.His talent, while tempting in spurts,
is fairly unpolished. Riley once said “Every time Davis has the ball it’s an
adventure”.Another injury risk. Was on the Injured List most of the season. Has
some potential.We’ll see more of him next year.
