Butler’s bandwagon is still not to be underestimated

As a team that made it to the finals last season, the Heatnot only failed to strengthen their roster in the new season, but also lost a few key players, but for the Heat, who can always create miracles, their performance will always be worth looking forward to.

Last season’s performance review

For the Heat, last season is undoubtedly a dream season, through the playoffs to the east of the 8th identity killed into the playoffs, the playoffs and knocked out the Bucks, the Celtics two big favorites to win the championship, killed into the finals, continuously staged a miracle of the black eight, although in the finals, unfortunately not against the Nuggets, no edge of the championship, for the civilian Heat, such a record is already a miracle.

Offseason lineup changes

In the ambiguous with Lillard a whole off-season, the hot fire ultimately with the superstar rubbed shoulders, the latter joined the stag. The Heat’s lineup not only did not strengthen, but lost Strouse, Vincent, Oladipo, Zeller, Youtseven and other five players, including Vincent and Strouse are the Heat’s main players, Strouse averaged 11.5 points last season, Vincent averaged 9.4 points and 2.5 assists, Oladipo is also an important force on the bench.

The Heat have added three players for the new season: Thomas Bryant, Josh Richardson and Jaime Harkes Jr. Harkes is a rookie, and all three are typical role players, with the exception of Thomas Bryant, who can shore up the depth of the interior lineup, and the rest of the two are struggling to help the team in a substantial way.

The Heat’s variables are Shilo and Jovic, Shilo missed the entire playoffs because of injuries, the regular season stage he can get 20.1 points per game, 5.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, two consecutive seasons of scoring more than 20 points, the No. 13 rookie’s strength is unquestionable. 21-year-old Jovic did not have much playing time in the last season, but in the World Cup in the summer performance is good, and is expected to get more playing time in the new season. Jovic is expected to get more playing time in the new season.

Outlook for the new season

In the absence of reinforcement, the hard man Butler is still the absolute core of the Heat, last season’s regular season, he averaged 22.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, to the playoffs, averaging up to 26.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, he is a natural born for the big game players, last season’s playoffs has proved that he is a star into the color of the game, the more to the key moment the more does not The more critical moments, the less soft.

If you look at the strength of paper alone, the Heat actually have declined, but this team has a “paradise of the draft,” said the team, never rely on player fame, under the leadership of Butler and Adebayo, the new season of the Heat is still not to be underestimated.
