Miami Heat: 5 spicy questions NBA hiatus leaves unanswered
About Those Free Agents…
When looking at the Miami Heat’s roster, you have a few important guys for whom decisions need to be made about beyond this season. While we should be sure on Derrick Jones Jr. at this moment (extend him already, will you please Pat?!), Meyers Leonard and Jae Crowder also fall into this boat. There may be a few more as well, but we can make the case using these.
While you should run it back on one-year deals at worst, providing they would take them if that’s all you offered as well, who knows. Crowder and Leonard have both shown enough to warrant at least running it back, if that was all that Riley could offer them and providing again, that they wanted to do it. Again, these are questions that the suspension leaves unanswered at the moment.
Where Do The Rookies Fall Into Place?
With the emergence of Zion Williamson in that short window before play was suspended, Kendrick Nunn had all but fell out of the Rookie Of The Year conversation that was now a toss-up between Williamson and Ja Morant. While that is indeed true and fair enough, that still doesn’t account for the 10 available slots on the All-Rookie squads.
While we would have loved for the multi-time Rookie Of The Month winning Kendrick Nunn to win the whole thing as far as Rookie Of The Year goes, we at least want him and Tyler Herro to get their due elsewhere. This is the last spicy question that the NBA hiatus leaves unanswered.
Next. Just a few more reasons why Pat Riley is the G.O.A.T.. dark
Hopefully, we are able to get answers to these questions soon enough, which means that they will be playing games again. Of course, safety comes first, but the entertainment and excitement of professional roundball action falls somewhere closely behind that for hoops junkies. Let’s hope we get our fix soon enough.
