Miami Heat Regular Season Thread 5.0 - Somebody save us

Are you all sure Wright is a good 3 pt shooter????

Good enough, we don’t need him at 40% on 6 attempts. Maybe like 35%-38% on 3 attempts a game at most. Main thing is his defense, offensively it’ll be a solid mix of attacking playmaking and shooting

He's a guy I expect not to take many. I expect him to pass up open looks if he's not in a rhythm or set. He'll pick his spots. I don't expect him to be the guy hitting contested 3s. Could hurt spacing if he's not willing enough so he will need to be schemed to be in the spots he's comfortable pulling the trigger from. At least he can be a functional ballhandler and facilitator when he attempts to penetrate instead of pulls the trigger on some looks.

I expect his offensive role to be low usage.

I am curious to see the lineup now that Jimmy is back.

Herro
Duncan
Martin
Jovic
Bam

Was the lineup leading into the ASB but that lineup only worked because of Caleb’s defense on opposing PGs like Dame. Jimmy isn’t going to do that. It’s unfortunately either Duncan or Jovic out due to politics.

I would love to see

Wright
Herro
Duncan
Jimmy
Bam

Considering Wright is the only active PG on the team and he does what Caleb did for our pre ASB lineup defensively. If he fits in well this could be an avenue of super 6th man Rozier.

Rozier
Jrich
JJJ
Jovic or Highsmith
Love

That could be a very solid 2nd unit and could be a good avenue to Rozier regaining his hornets play, tell him to come in and cook opposing 2nd units.

Wright on catch and shoot 3s:

23-24: 44%

22-23: 35%

21-22: 38%

20-21: 44%

38%+ here would be great

Here is what I suggest. He needs to get good at shooting the corner trey. He likes shooting at the wing. He is not consistent anywhere along the 3 pt line over the years. Likely how Spo will utilize him, he will be parked in the corners. If he can get really good at the corner three, he will have a huge impact without having to be great anywhere else at the three point line. Hope he is practicing becuase I looked at his shot chart over the years and he doesnt take many corner treys.

35 to 38 is a big difference by the way. So he is just a D guy

Well the video we saw of him yesterday he was drilling tons of corner 3s so I’m sure he’s working on it. That being said, majority of your PGs 3s, as well as your Cs if Spo ever allows Bam to start shooting 3s, are going to be above the break 3s where Wright has shot very well from. Hes not going to be posted up in the corner much

It’s not that big of difference relative to his volume. I mean the numbers are all out there for you he is a very solid above the break and catch and shoot 3 point shooter lol. He also provides rim pressure and he also is a very efficient low turnover playmaker. It’s more then just defense, he was highly sought after by contenders for a reason

Yeah math is important in context specially as it pertains to volume.
35-38% at 12 attempts is 4.2 makes(12.6points@35%) vs 4.56 makes(13.68points@38%) makes out of 12. That's 1 full point at 12 attempts which he or any other 3&D guy would never average here.
35-38% at 6 attempts is 2.1 makes(6.3points@35%) vs 2.28 makes(6.84points@38%) makes out of 12.
That's half a point 6 attempts which is more logical here.
Your looking at needing almost a full 6% difference to gain a full point in shot attempts vs someone who will be shooting 6 three pointers per game on average. So unless the difference here is a player along the lines of 35% vs 41% your not going to see that difference and anyone on this team hitting above 40% would be one of our most used actions and emphasis to get the bulk of our open three pointers.

The version or the type of Heat Captain that Heat fans want or the team has had in times past is not in Bam, that's not his character. Fans need to get used to Bam's style of leadership cause he is going to be around for a while or if its something he may not want to carry for the sake of the team I could see him give it up to an enforcer type that may or may not be on the team at this time.

i think that if he feels like he cant fulfill that role that someone else should be assigned instead.

give it to love or martin , someone that can use the position as the best of their abilities. some people like to be leaders while others are okay to be followers and i think bam could be the later case and its okay if thats really the case.

i'm curious as to what bammy has to say here

[SoFlaKingReal]

I don't understand why the team needs a captain anyway lol

Haslem earned it, not sure there was a need to force it on to Bam right away.

Thats part of Bam's development, to adjust his style of leadership and be more assertive when its needed..getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. The fans aren't in the locker room.

What I have to say is y’all are reading WAY too far into it lol. It’s a learning experience, the torch was passed to him just like it should have as he’s the new face of the franchise and the cornerstone. It’ll be fine lol

Lowry is just yapping, but it's different from what he said about our coaching staff a few months ago.

Well he needed to get humbled first and be bought out for that to create those words in a vacuum. He was traded out of an organization that was surely lacking PG depth and with vision to be competitive in the playoffs, traded him away regardless which tells you a lot. In a small space in his head that hurt a bit.

[HeatFan_NC]

Tim Hardaway, Sr. got it right!!! Offensively, we need to turn Rozier loose. I said the same thing right after we traded for the guy. If we run the offense through him and let him be the #1 option, we'll be MUCH better.
