Mario Chalmers
I attended last night's Miami Heat Exhibition game versus Detroit. I searched around the Internet today and saw very few videos, blogs or ESPN/NBA.com coverage of the game, even the MiamiHeat.com website.
I did find the following blog:

Okay, yes it's only an exhibition game but after last season, I like may loyal Miami Heat fans was anxious to see some of our new players. The player that impressed me the most was Mario Chalmers, the rookie guard from Kansas.
After D-Wade intercepts the ball, he passes to Chalmers among several Pistons, who starts the break near mid-court, finds Wade on the right side who takes the ball just inside the three point line and brings it down for a thundering dunk.
With seconds remaining before halftime, Spokestra calls timeout and calls a play. Wade takes the ball and as the Detroit defense collapses, he dishes to Chalmers in the corner who shoots three and it is all net.
Overall, Miami has not had a point guard with Chalmer's ball handling skills and defense for sometime. Okay, he had several turnovers but he also had 2 steals. He picked one of the Piston's guards clean toward the end fo the game. He's a rookie, but in my opinion, he already looks comfortable on the floor. He'll make mistakes this season but with his play last night, I think Miami Heat Fans can look forward to seeing their new point guard play. Lastly, it's also nice to see D-Wade not have to worry about taking the ball up the court. With Marcus Banks, Quinn and now Shaun Livingston, there is is plenty of true point guards on the Miami roster.
