Shawne Williams

Williams will play his eighth season in the NBA as a new member of the Heat after he signed a fully-guaranteed contract in the offseason. Playing for the Lakers last season, he averaged 5.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 1.2 three-pointers in 21 minutes per game. It's important to remember that the Lakers threw out some desperate lineups last season while dealing with injuries, so Williams would be hard pressed to see that much playing time while with the Heat this season. His main obstacle from seeing the court will be the fact that multiple players are currently ahead of him on the depth chart at both small forward and power forward. Jumping the likes of Luol Deng, Danny Granger, Josh McRoberts, and Udonis Haslem don't seem plausible, leaving the 28-year-old on the outside looking in. On top of that, Williams only played 36 games last season and seriously lacks the consistency that the Heat will need this season after they regroup from the departure of LeBron James. Despite being a veteran, the former Memphis standout will ultimately have a limited role on the Heat this season.
