Only way he starts is if Jovic continues to play so poorly. This team still lacks a true center of any real ability.
I don't know. I like Jovic but ware on court with bam will be domination and matchup nightmare. Jovic looks like he did last season.

He had 9/2/3 in 16 mins and was +12.
Not sure what else you're looking for from Niko really.

The young guys are fun to watch they play with a lot of energy, you could tell Spo was into it
Anybody know where Jimmy was? The bench was up and he wasn’t anywhere to be seen.

Jovic played a good game but ware had better game with 13 pt 5 reb 4 block game. Yes ware going against bench players but ware makes it a lot more difficult for teams to score. I think ware bam combo is best

I enjoyed the big-3 era....but honestly I have had more baskestball enjoyment watching the Heat find these guys and try to mold them over the last 5 years or so.
my favorite time of the year is when we showcase these guys in summer league or what not....
I think these young guys look great, and it is going to be awesome watching them come on up around Bam...and even Jimmy if we can get him to stick around... Jimmy is hella likable when he is not loafing around.

Ware needs to put on a decent amount of muscle to really compete in the NBA. Also, tonight I thought he showed a lack of hustle for a lot of rebounds. His height helped him, but when the real games start, he will be going against guys around the same height with more experience and more beef. This year, I assume he is going to play sparingly, with Jokic getting more playing time. That said, players the size of Jokic will also be eaten up by centers (and PFs) who will just outplay and oversize him.

Forgot Herro and Jaquez didn't play, man Bam is a Phoenix-- coming up with new improvements every year. The shot looks hella impressive, though I want to conserve my excitement

Re: Miami Heat Preseason Thread 2024
My takeaways:
- Bam 3p season incoming
- Burks is a solid rotation player
- Jovic is the 5th starter and he will stay there
- Rozier was a bit chaotic
- Jimmy is Jimmy
- Larsson is a steal
- Duncan struggled from 3 but some good drives, the 3 will come
- Haywood suprisingly bad, i hope it was a offnight
- DRU SMITH, i dont understand what this guy has on the front office, if he related to Riley somehow? why do we keep bring him back? he is just terrible.
- Bryant was Bryant i dont expect him to be more than a bench warmer
- Love looked old, i didnt like what i saw
- WARE OMG, you cant teach height. MONSTER, if he survives Spo's rookie treatment we got a gem
- Keshad showed some flashes, he's got a lot of potential
- Cristopher i was dissapointed , expected more from him. He seems stressed , everything seemed rushed. Didn't look confortable at all
- Rest that played i dont care, gl in Sioux Falls

Re: Miami Heat Preseason Thread 2024
Starting frontcourt continues to be the teams greatest(only?) strength. Single bright spot from the end of last season.
Guard play was bad all over.
Ware needs to find his defensive stance up top and the Bryant minutes are no more.

Re: Miami Heat Preseason Thread 2024
Burke and Larsson looked really good and comfortable in their role. Both played well on both sides of the ball.
I don't like the Highsmith fit with the unit Spo had him with. I would like to see Jovic play with that unit instead
Jobic with the starting unit looked really good. His passing is allowing Bam to be a shooter and scorer

Re: Miami Heat Preseason Thread 2024
Rozier really struggled with his shooting. I am sure the rehabbing of his neck and back has him behind. If he gets his scoring ability back the that starting lineup Rozier, Burke, Butler, Jovic, and Bam should be really good.

There’s no way you enjoyed watching the improvement of Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin, and Haywood Highsmith over our franchise goat, the literal goat, and a lesser version of Bam winning championships
