Adebayo is obvious not a role player. He is a player who can score 20-22 ppg while playing good defense and collect 10-12 rebounds.
This is his role now with Miami and I think it is fair from Spoelstra.
He is a very good player. Obvious not a role player and I think(sorry about that) not a superstar.
Herro is talented and can score the ball but sometimes he decides to shoot whatever the circumstances are.
He seems to not play for the win but for his ego.
This is not bad if you are Steph Curry or Michael Jordan and I think many superstars have it.
But Herro has to control it.
I think the key for Miami to win is to change Herro and not change Adebayo.
Adebayo does his job very well.
Herro has to change his mindset a little bit in order to be a winning player.
Herro reminds me a little bit of Lavine. A very good scorer who never played for the win.
Lets see if Herro can be more than that.
Personally I like them both as players and personalities from what I have seen.
And I think Miami can change the story in playoffs.
I agree with Spoelstra that Miami loses in the details.
Gonna focus on the Herro part of your post
His problem is that the team requires that he plays with the ball in his hands far more than he ought to
He is a supremely talented off ball shooter who can occasionally play on ball.
I probably sound like a broken record at this point but Herro, in general, ideally, should be limited to 3 dribbles or less per touch and the lesser the better.
His catch n shoot and 1 dribble stuff are elite.
But for him to be tasked with as much handling responsibilities as he has is a fundamental miscasting
Tbf, though, with Smith’s injury and the Rozier freak show, Spo doesn’t have better options to turn to.
