Patrick Beverley says Heat need veteran point-guard

Patrick Beverley believes the Miami Heat still need to strengthen their point guard rotation, particularly if they want to maximize Giannis Antetokounmpo in the playoffs.

Beverley likes Miami’s roster overall but thinks another one or two additions are necessary. His biggest concern is the lack of an experienced point guard who can help organize the offense and reduce the responsibility placed on Giannis.

“I like Miami. They need 1 or 2 more pieces imma be honest. They need a PG… If Miami doesn’t have a PG in the playoffs and they’re losing, the thing I’ve understood about superstars is if Giannis goes into ‘give me the ball mode’ he needs help.

“He will do everything he can to win every game, which is a good. But at this point in Giannis’ career he doesn’t need to do that right now.

“He does not need to score every point, every rebound, make every play, that’s too much. I like Davion Mitchell as a starting PG but behind him they need a veteran PG.”
