<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Riley said it is unlikely Christian Laettner would be asked to return. The Heat's roster currently lists Williams as the team's lone full-time point guard with NBA experience. The team also added former Kentucky guard Gerald Fitch this offseason. Second-year guard Dorell Wright is a potential option at point guard.</div> Source I realize Wright is too, good of a talent to just waste away on the bench. How do Heat fans feel about Wright playing PG next year?
As a rookie, their was speculation about him playing anywhere from the 1-3, and likely backing up at PG at times. They were talking about how versatille he was, etc etc. It's definately possible, but not as a playmaker, just a bring the ball down the court ball handler.
I wouldn't mind Dorrell playing pg. It would really be a challenge for opposing defenses to guard him with his size and athleticism. This will mesh he and Wade because they are the future backcourt of the Miami Heat.
Let the kid play. Riley wants Showtime in Miami. Dorell needs to get minutes and he has the skills to play PG, SG, or SF. Remember, this is the Only high school player that Riley has ever drafted. He was unwilling to trade him in any of the recent moves. If Dorell at 6'7" can run the point and back up Jason Williams it would allow the Heat all sorts of athletic and versatile lineups.

Just him being young, and being 6'7 he already has an advantage, so I certainly would not mind him playing backup PG
