Goran Dragić (born 6 May 1986) is a Slovenian professional basketball player for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He plays at both the point guard and shooting guard positions. He played professional basketball in Slovenia and Spain before entering the NBA in 2008. Dragić has played for the Phoenix Suns twice, the Houston Rockets, and the Miami Heat. He was an All-NBA Third Team selection and the NBA Most Improved Player in 2014.

Dragić began his professional career in 2003 at the age of 17 in the Slovenian Second Basketball League with KD Ilirija. He played there for one year before transferring to the Slovenian Basketball League and Adriatic League club Slovan in 2004. After spending two years with Slovan, he transferred to the Spanish club Saski Baskonia, who loaned him to club Murcia in 2006.

Dragić joined the Slovenian club Union Olimpija in 2007, and played there during the 2007–08 season, winning the Slovenian League championship.

Dragić entered the 2008 NBA draft, where he was selected in the second round, 45th overall, by the San Antonio Spurs. His draft rights were then traded to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for the draft rights to Malik Hairston, the 48th pick. After the Suns finished a deal with TAU Ceramica (now known as Caja Laboral), with whom he was under contract, they officially signed him on 22 September 2008. The Suns hoped that he would take over the starting point guard position after Steve Nash relinquished it. On 25 January 2010, Dragić scored a then career high 32 points, hitting 6 of 7 three-pointers in a losing effort against the Utah Jazz.
