Heat's Luke Babbitt: Starts at power forward Tuesday

Babbitt will start at power forward in Tuesday's preseason game against the Wizards.

Analysis:

Derrick Williams remains the favorite to start at power forward when the season begins with Chris Bosh's Heat career likely over while he deals with blood clots, but the floor-stretching Babbitt will at least get the first opportunity to stake his claim to the starting role. A strong performance from Babbitt on Tuesday could tighten the competition, but his limitations as a defender and interior presence won't help his case.
