Heat's Goran Dragic: Fills up stat sheet in preseason finale

Dragic posted 17 points (5-6 FG, 7-8 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and two blocks across 25 minutes in Friday's 113-110 preseason loss to the 76ers.

Analysis:

The Heat's significant personnel losses (Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Luol Deng) put Dragic and Hassan Whiteside in position to command focal roles in the team's offensive attack this season, and both have provided previews of what's to come with strong preseason performances. Dragic scored 16 or more points in four of his six exhibition games, despite receiving no more than 29 minutes in any contest.
