Jerry Stackhouse to the Heat: Fantasy Implications

Jerry Stackhouse to the Heat Mike Miller has been ruled out until Janurary and the Heat moved quickly to add veteran swingman Jerry Stackhouse. On paper Mike Miller is a much better fit than Jerry Stackhouse as he is a solid passer and 3-point shooter. However let us not forget that Jerry Stackhouse is still Jerry Stackhouse. This move in my view anyway increases the Heat’s chances of making a serious run in the playoffs as they now have the offensive firepower to overcome a injury to one of their big 3. For fantasy basketball purposes this move has a chance to be irrelevant. The Heat have decided against using Wade at PG and with him starting at SG there is probably only 10-15 minutes a game. Keep his name in mind if worst comes to worst and Dwayne Wade misses some time with an injury.
