Williams started at power forward and contributed 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 121-100 preseason win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra has given starts at power forward to three different players (Williams, Luke Babbitt and James Johnson) in three games, but Williams looks like the top candidate to land those duties during the regular season, given the more diverse inside-out offensive game that he offers. With Chris Bosh (blood clots) unlikely to play for the Heat again, Williams could have some staying power in the starting five, although the presences of Babbitt and Johnson will likely prevent him from consistently seeing 30-plus minutes per game.
