Miami Heat Pros in a potential Nikola Vucevic deal
Seamless Fit
The first thing you think about when bringing in a player is how he would fit with the guys that he would be playing with. When thinking about how Vucevic would fit with the Heat, it’s a seamless fit.
He shoots the three. He can play inside.
He defends his position and he can pass. Basically, he could play beside Bam Adebayo or as the lone big.
He would be successful either way and, at worst, probably the same guy he is in Orlando relative to the minutes allotted.
Fills A Dire Need
The Miami Heat need rebounding help in the worst way. Vucevic has averaged double-digit rebounds for almost his entire career.
He would bring that with him to Miami. Once you also consider the fact that they just aren’t that deep at the big man position, him as simply another body is more than they already have.
Yes, if they have to trade a current big to land him, that hurts. However, he’s going to be better than anyone leaves out because it won’t be Bam, so that still makes that a net gain for Miami.
Immediately Makes You A Better Team
The guy is an All-Star and he isn’t one because he plays just to be one. What that means is a guy who is playing for individual accolades over the team’s success.
Vucevic plays a brand of basketball that’s conducive to his team winning. His All-Star status and that fact about it are all one needs to know.
He immediately makes you a better team when he comes in.
