A. Udonis Haslem only appeared in 17 games this season, playing a grand total of 130 minutes all year. Regardless, his various contributions to the team warrant the grade he received. Haslem played the role of mentor to Hassan Whiteside and Willie Reed while serving as an extra coach for Spoelstra. Miami’s veteran big man has been with the franchise for his entire career, and that will continue next year, as he has made it clear he plans to return. Every good team needs a guy with championship pedigree on the roster, to be a leader when things get hard and help push the younger players along. It would be impossible to find someone more fitting for that role with the Heat than U.D.. PF/C. Miami Heat. UDONIS HASLEM
