Miami Heat: A 2019-20 NBA regular season preview and primer
IX. Udonis Haslem and Derrick Jones Jr.
Udonis Haslem is a Miami Heat stalwart. Hailing from Miami, playing at Florida, and playing the entirety of his NBA career for the Miami Heat makes him the ultimate Heat Lifer.
While he may not be able to be what he once was on an every-night basis for the Miami Heat, he could be serviceable in a short dose of minutes if he needs to be. He is most valuable at this point for his presence in the locker room and along the bench, kind of acting like that coach that Pat Riley seems to want him to eventually be.
Derrick Jones Jr., or Airplane Mode as he is affectionately now known, is an athletic marvel. He can jump out of the gym, glide like a gazelle, and has arms and legs like rubber bands. The guy is a freak.
He isn’t just a highlight dunk waiting to happen though, he has other valuable skills. He has good size and length for a wing position, while he also doesn’t mind sticking his nose in the middle of things to make a play. Let’s get into Udonis Haslem and Derrick Jones Jr.
