Robert Hite came into training camp as 6-foot-2 longshot, but he now has a legitimate chance to make Miami's roster.

"As a small two, he's quick as hell," coach Pat Riley said, "and the fact that he can really stretch the court, he's like Eddie House."

"I know I'm going to have to handle the ball a lot on this level," he said. "I've got to get more confident with that. At UM, I didn't handle the ball a lot, so I wasn't as comfortable as I wanted to be getting on this level."
