5, Kevin Edward
Edward's career numbers are only 10.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, career 604 games exactly 302 games are starters, and he has not been selected as an All-Star, and has only been in the rookie season into the best rookie second-team. But Love makes the list because he played for Miami for five full years, the Heat's first starting guard, from the beginning of the Heat's 1988-1989 buildup.
4, Steve Smith
The first three years of his career spent more than in the Heat, when Smith averaged 16.5 points per game, he was one of the few offensive options for the Heat in the early 1990s. At that time, the Heat can kill several times into the playoffs, Smith is also credited. Later, after going to the Hawks, Smith began to really hit the name, repeated season averages of more than 20 points performance. However, the Heat was ultimately the birthplace of his career, and in the 2004-2005 season, Smith went back to Miami and retired after posting a career-worst average of 1.8 points per game.
3, Eddie Jones
Jones gave the most impressive time or in the Lakers microblogging, as one of the Lakers gang of four participated in the All-Star Game. After leaving Los Angeles, Jones rolled over to the Heat and played for five full years. It's just a shame that Jones was traded to the Grizzlies before the Heat's championship season. In fact, the name Jones doesn't seem to ring much of a bell with fans anymore, but it probably wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that he was the top defensive guard in Heat history.
2, Tim Hardaway
In the 1990s, the Heat were able to leapfrog the Eastern Conference, relying on Alonzo Mourning on the inside and Hardaway on the outside. Starting in the second half of 1995-1996, Hardaway played five and a half seasons with the Heat, and the Heat made the playoffs every year of that span. For Pat Riley at the time, Hardaway plus Mourning, this one inside and one outside of the golden partner constitutes the basic elements of the championship. And Hardaway, too, was the best defender the Heat had ever had at that point.
1, Dwyane Wade
No matter how good Hardaway and Jones are, it's an indisputable fact that they haven't helped the Heat win a championship. And the only one who has done that so far is Wade. For eight years, Wade has dutifully contributed 25.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game for the Heat. And, only once in those seven years did the Heat fail to make the playoffs. In the 2005-2006 season, he even led the Heat to create a 0-2 deficit in the finals and then overturned the amazing 4-2. It should not be controversial to say that Wade is the first guard in the history of the Heat.
