Miami Heat's Caleb Martin Finds Comfort Zone As A Reserve

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin spent most of the this season playing out of position.

Now, he's starting to find his groove at a more comfortable spot. Martin had 15 points in the Heat's victory Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks.

"I think since we've made the change he's been one of the consistent bright spots in our rotation," Spoelstra said. "He's made an immediate impact with his energy, his activity, his speed, his quickness. That role just fits him naturally well and it's not an indictment about him as a starter at all because he gave us good minutes there. He's a game-changing type of a player when you bring him off the bench. He kind of ignites that unit."

Martin played power forward until the Heat signed Kevin Love during the buyout period a few weeks ago. It allowed Martin to return to small forward. It has led to him averaging 14.5 points the past two games.

"I just think overall guys are setting me up very well," Martin said. "They're just a great job of finding me."
