With the World Cup over the NBA world now focuses on training camp which is two weeks away. For the Miami Heat. They have a lot of things to work on. A virtually new squad, flux in terms of coaching, they’re going to be busy for the next couple of months. One headline is Dwyane Wade and his road to becoming a leader again.
Udonis Haslem who knows DWade like a brother thinks he should be able to do more as he says via the Miami Herald.
Wade, 32, said he will not get a complete feel for his new role until training camp and cautions: “I can’t go back five years.”
But Haslem said: “We’re going to need more from him not just offensively, but defensively as well, getting back to being that first-, second-team All Defensive player he was, leading our defense.
“He’s definitely going to have to be more aggressive. In the fourth quarter, there are going to be times for him to take over the game like he did in the past. Last four years, it was a little bit of everybody, but the offense was dictated going through LeBron. We’re going to have to go through Dwyane down the stretch now. He’s going to be the playmaker and decision maker on who takes the shots.”
Wade will have to buck up whether he likes it or not. Chris Bosh will play down low more often which means there’s more space for DWade to be “Flash” once more.
