    Default Is drop-off in Heat bench overstated?

    Not replacing Allen is an issue, especially with LeBron already lost for nothing in return. The question isn't whether Granger can offer more than Lewis, it's whether Granger or any of the reserves can offer as much as Allen offered the previous two seasons. The falloff of the bench has a lot to do with the loss of Allen. And, of course, ground also has to be gained across the board because of the loss of LeBron. For now, there are plenty of unknowns, although there also is hope with James Ennis and Shabazz Napier.

    The bench also added Shawne Williams, Reggie Williams, Shannon Brown, adding to Cole, Birdman and Haslem who may have increased roles.
