Player Notes

Miller is the logical candidate to be moved to the bench, if Miami changes up its starting lineup, Yahoo! Sports reports. When asked about it, coach Erik Spoelstra said, "We'll find out."
Recommendation: Considering the Spurs were able to counter punch effectively in Game 5 with a small starting five featuring Manu Ginobili, perhaps the Heat are contemplating a more traditional lineup, with Udonis Haslem and Chris Andersen experiencing a modest bump in playing time. After getting blanked, scoring-wise, in his two starts, Miller could move back to the bench, from which he knocked down 10-of-11 three-pointers during the first three contests of the finals.

Andersen will likely be back in the Heat's rotation for Tuesday's Game 6 against the Spurs, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
Recommendation: During the first three games of the series, Andersen averaged 12.7 minutes nightly, but coach Erik Spoelstra trotted out small-ball lineups in each of the past two contests, which have kept him glued to the bench. Andersen's energy in the frontcourt has been quite valuable during Miami's playoff run, as he has tallied six points, 2.3 boards, and 0.7 blocks per tilt when he has taken the court in the series.

Hansbrough finished the 2012-13 season averaging 7.0 points (43.2 percent from the floor and 72 percent at the foul line) with 4.6 rebounds in a career-low 16.9 minutes.
Recommendation: Hansbrough experienced a further drop in playing time during the 19-game playoff run, as the team's weak bench was a non-factor in the postseason. He appears to have become less important to the team's rotation than he had been the past few years, but still, we expect the Pacers to extend a qualifying offer to Hansbrough and retain him for another season.

Petro averaged 3.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in just 31 games this season - his first with the Hawks.
Recommendation: The 27-year-old primarily served as a post defender, as his offensive game remains largely unpolished. He's an active rebounder when given the opportunity but rarely logged enough minutes to make a significant fantasy impact. His three-year, $10 million deal expires this offseason and it is very unlikely that he'll be in a Hawks uniform next season. However, a team in need of a veteran, end-of-the-bench big man will likely give Petro a shot for a much cheaper contract.

Jerebko is encouraged by the recent signing of new head coach Maurice Cheeks, MLive.com reports.
Recommendation: It was an open secret that Jerebko and former Pistons coach Lawrence Frank did not see eye to eye, which helps explain his reduced role in two seasons under Frank's direction. In 2012-13, Jerebko posted career lows in points (7.7), rebounds (3.8), field-goal percentage (44.9), and minutes (18.1). Moreover, he only appeared in 49 of 82 contests, after missing two games combined in his first two campaigns in Detroit, so a change of scheme could invigorate the mindset and production of the hybrid forward.

Johnson averaged 6.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 15.0 minutes for the Hawks this season.
Recommendation: In his second season with the team, Johnson put up nearly identical numbers to those he posted in 2011-12. He, along with Anthony Tolliver, served as a versatile defender off the bench. Unlike Tolliver, however, Johnson thrived more in the interior and was often able to draw contact from opposing defenders. The 29-year-old is a restricted free agent this offseason, and his fate with the team likely will not be decided until later in the summer, as the Hawks appear to be in play for a number of big free agents.

Bazemore appeared in 61 games but averaged just 4.4 minutes per game as a rookie in 2012-13.
Recommendation: The former Old Dominion standout rarely saw meaningful minutes for the Warriors this season but could often be seen as the de facto cheerleading captain at the end of Golden State's animated bench. He averaged 2.0 points on 37.1 percent shooting and - though he signed a two-year deal - his contract is non-guaranteed for next season. The Warriors will likely keep him around, but a strong summer league and pre-season showing could go a long way toward solidifying his spot as a reserve combo guard.

Scott averaged 4.6 points on 47.6 percent shooting in 40 games for the Hawks in his first NBA season.
Recommendation: The rookie second-rounder out of Virginia played a very minor role this season, often appearing near the end of blowout contests. However, at the end of the regular season when the team was resting starters, Scott put up some impressive lines - including two consecutive double-doubles, punctuated by a 23-point, 14-rebound performance in the season finale. At 6-foot-8 with marginal athleticism, he's a bit undersized for the power forward position and his contract for next season is non-guaranteed, meaning his spot on the roster could be in jeopardy. He'll need to perform well at the Las Vegas Summer League to impress new coach Mike Bundenholzer, but he'll likely receive some looks from other teams should the Hawks opt to go in a different direction.

Korver continued to show he's one of the top 3-point marksmen in the league, as he shot an NBA-best 45.7 percent from beyond the arc in 2012-13.
Recommendation: While Korver knows his role as a shooter, he turned in perhaps his best overall season, averaging 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists to go along with 10.9 points per game. He started a career-high 60 contests and, while still a poor defender and prone to fouling, compensated with his unbelievably efficient shooting. Korver set an NBA record this season by making at least one 3-pointer in a ridiculous 77 consecutive games. His contract expires this offseason and he should receive plenty of interest around the league. Atlanta is sure to want him back but could opt to save some cash and instead go with second-year man John Jenkins as their primary perimeter shooter.
