  Wes says that in transition Wiggins runs straight to the rim ahead of Giannis rather than to the corner, inviting a hit-ahead pass. He says Wiggins or Davion Mitchell has often been the one leading the break this preseason.

  Moorhead calls Mitchell the player 'hitting the turbo button'. He paraphrases Spoelstra after the last game: Mitchell has been great as an engine, but sometimes he must run ahead without the ball.

• Podcast Locked On Heat host · Opinion · Oct 13

  A host argues that a person's view of the Heat boils down to their view of Davion Mitchell: either a journeyman point guard or a player in the right context. Moorhead agrees.

• Podcast Locked On Heat · Analysis · Oct 13

  Moorhead says the offense doesn't ask Mitchell to run high-volume pick-and-rolls. Instead it asks him to push hard, attack in space, and be a solid playmaker.

• Podcast Locked On Heat · Opinion · Oct 13

  Moorhead's defensive views: Giannis might be the team's best rim protector in a long time. Bam is a top-five defender at minimum. Wiggins and Mitchell are underrated defenders, and Larsson (likely Pelle Larsson) is a physical defender.

• Podcast Wes Goldberg, Locked On Heat · Opinion · Oct 12

  The host's preferred pairings: Bam with Davion Mitchell as much as possible, so Davion can drive the offense, and Giannis with Pella (likely Pelle Larsson) if he is the backup guard. Overall he expects shooting lineups around Giannis and ball-handling lineups around Bam.
