Danny Granger has several suitors and even entertained the thought of going back to the Indiana Pacers before ultimately deciding on the Heat. The reason Danny Granger chose the Heat? He loves how he fits into head coach Erik Spoelstra’s offensive system.
“I studied how hard it is to guard the three-point line when they’re moving the ball and spacing and everybody’s touching the ball,” Granger said via NBA.com. “It’s a very difficult offense to guard so now that I’m in it, I’m trying to learn it and hopefully I’ll be very efficient in it.”
If Danny Granger is healthy, he could prove to be a very solid addition as the Heat try to replace some of the production they lost from the departure of LeBron James.
Danny Granger was dealt from the Pacers to the Philadelphia 76ers last season. After he was waived by the 76ers, he agreed to a deal with the Los Angeels Clippers. He averaged 8.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game while shooting 37.8% from the field, 33.6% from beyond the arc and 94.0% from the free throw line last season.
