Miami Heat: 3 reasons why the 2018-19 team will surprise the league

Young talent

Jones Jr., Winslow, Bam Adebayo, Josh Richardson and it goes on….

The Heat have been stacking up young talent and could very well make great use of them. Last week, Riley talked about Winslow in a way that confirmed he is not going anywhere anytime soon.

"“We look as Justise as an anchor, as one of our anchor pieces,” Riley said."

The current Heat roster has a mix of veterans and youth, making way for the opportunity to grow a lot in the next few seasons.

Assuming Wade is playing another season, there is a lot to learn from him alone. For this team, there is as much to learn on the court, as off of it. Defense and offense skills can be there, but attitude and effort are just as important.

Learning this early will be key to sustaining a productive and growing core.

It is hard to be patient and some fans do not want to be, which is understandable.

However, the young core of this team is something to look forward to not just in the future, but now as well. The Heat might not be No.1 in the East, but they are not a team to sleep on either.

There is a lot of talent yet to be seen from the seven players on the roster that are under 25 years old. They have a lot to show and most likely a lot that we have not even seen yet, that will surprise an ambiguous East this season.

Get ready for Miami.
