Dragic is good at playing fast breaks and is very good at pick-and-rolls. As a white player, he has a tough style of play and is not afraid of confrontation, which allows him to have an excellent free throw rate. On the defensive end, he has height and wingspan, is quick to respond, and is good at stealing. He can defend the second position with his height, but his strength will suffer.
On August 6, 2021, the Raptors and the Heat completed a sign-and-trade deal, and the Raptors got Dragic and Achuva. The Heat get Lowry.
