How Miami Heat’s Precious Achiuwa and Bam Adebayo can co-exist
By Ivan Mora
The Miami Heat may just have the next great big man duo. What could that look like when it all comes together though?
What’s Should It All Look Like When It Comes Together
Bam could, at times, be running the floor, drawing defenders, and dishing out to shooters, while Precious acclimates to the post for defensive rebounds and second-chance opportunities. That’s on offense alone but defensively, the league will immediately take notice as they should constantly struggle to get past Jimmy Butler, Avery Bradley, Bam Adebayo, and Precious Anchiuwa.
It even gives them a flexible option with that last position. Isn’t that evidently what you want in a defensive squad anyway?
We won’t immediately see that though. That’s because it’s safe to assume an opening night starting lineup of Goran Dragic(possibly Tyler Herro to keep Goran healthy for the playoffs), Jimmy Butler, Duncan Robinson, Bam Adebayo, and Meyers Leonard.
In the midst of rotations, I believe Precious will receive more playing time than most expect. This should allow him to develop quicker.
If he does, he could quickly develop into a defensive juggernaut, capable of locking down positions 1-5 at times. Of course, it’s not a certainty but a mere pipe dream at the moment.
Next. Miami Heat may have their next Derrick Jones Jr. type. dark
But… it can and has a great chance to eventually become a basketball reality. Take this as evidence.
Miami has successfully developed most of their latest draft picks, allowing them to quickly evolve after turning Pro. Precious should follow suit nicely.
