Sat Jul 5 201413:21Shabazz Napier shoots 3-of-15 on Saturday
Shabazz Napier shot 3-of-15 vs. the Celtics on Saturday for 12 points with four boards, two assists, two steals, two 3-pointers and eight turnovers.
He looked horrible to start the game, but finally settled down in the fourth quarter. Napier's size is going to limit him from being a dynamic scorer, but he shot the ball well from beyond the arc while at UCONN. He'll have to get locked in from downtown to get minutes with the Heat, assuming they have a similar roster.

Fri Jun 27 201418:48Riley praises Shabazz Napier's winning ways
Pat Riley spoke highly of newly drafted point guard Shabazz Napier in a recent interview.
"He's a winner. He's talented. He's skilled," Riley said. "You just have to watch him play the game... I know LeBron [James] tweeted something in the NCAAs about him [Napier]. I mean, why not? I don't tweet. The point is, is that LeBron and I have the same taste in talent." Riley stated that the Heat targeted Napier because his skill set matched nicely with what Miami wants from a point guard, which is 3-point shooting, proficiency with the pick-and-roll, and the ability to play off the ball. Shabazz knocked down 2.2 three-pointers during his senior season for UCONN, and Miami may view him as a Mario Chalmers replacement if they lose Chalmers to free agency.
