ClutchOff 99 (Hidden Rating)
ClutchDef 99 (Hidden Rating)

Outlook: Wade rates 97 without his ridiculous clutch ratings driving up his overall six points. This doesn't take away from the fact that he had one of the greatest seasons ever for a SG not named Michael Jordan.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Jermaine O’Neal (C)
Overall 85

Outlook: O'Neal has never been the most efficient scorer, though he is an excellent post defender. Being paired with Wade is probably the best for him going forward.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Michael Beasley (PF/SF)

Outlook: Beasley is a great offensive player at his young age, but he's also a poor defender and may never become an asset in this department.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Mario Chalmers (PG)
Overall 81 (down from 82)

Ball Defense 87
Standing Dunk 50

Outlook: Chalmers' perimeter defense and three point shooting made a lot of teams look foolish for letting him fall to the middle of the second round in last year's draft.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Udonis Haslem (PF/C)
Overall 79 (down from 80)

Quickness 66

Ball Defense 78
Standing Dunk 75

Outlook: Haslem should continue to lose playing time to Beasley, and with O'Neal around for a full season, he shouldn't be called upon to play center. It's a tossup whether he starts at PF or comes off the bench.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Quentin Richardson (SF/SG)
Overall 77 (up from 75)

Standing Dunk 50

Outlook: That Q-Rich might actually start in Miami tells us all we need to know about their chances. He's decent when healthy, but is a lost cause when his back is acting up.

Ball Defense 77
Standing Dunk 50

Outlook: Excellent shooter, but below average at everything else for a point guard. His defense and PG skills are passable, but you can't expect anything relating to interior play from him.

Outlook: 2009's shootout winner needs to improve his defense if he wants to become more than just a role player.

James Jones (SF)

Quickness 73

Ball Defense 68
Standing Dunk 50

Outlook: Jones was injured to start the season in Miami and did not play up to expectations when he did play. He'll need to fight for his spot in the rotation with Q-Rich and Cook also fighting for his minutes.

Quickness 85
Hustle 64

Ball Defense 80
Standing Dunk 75

Outlook: Athletic wing player that has yet to substantially improve since coming out of high school 6 years ago. He was injured for most of last season and he'll need to show he belongs or he could be out of the league shortly.

Outlook: This one-time fluke all-star is clinging to his NBA career. He's a good rebounder which is why he continues to stick around.

Outlook: Diawara has no role on this team if Wright is healthy. The other 3 SFs on the team are injury prone so I suppose there is a point to his existence.
