10. Miami Heat: Mario Hezonja

He’s not as good defensively as Winslow, but he’s more effective at this point on offense and his athleticism and deep range on his jump shot would’ve been perfect in the playoffs for the Heat.

Mario Hezonja didn’t get a great chance to prove himself until later in the season thanks to Evan Fournier‘s improvement, but he still has as much upside as anyone here.

His attitude and cockiness can get in the way at times, but Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh would’ve put the youngster in his place and made sure he came to practice ready to work and blend in with Erik Spoelstra’s game plan.

Miami is a good place for any young player to come in and learn how to play the game properly, so Hezonja could’ve taken serious steps to becoming a force in this league sooner than expected had he ended up in a Heat uniform.
