The Miami Heat value multipleness. Having size, skills, and a ton of versatility on the floor qualifies there, which the next two guys have a ton of.

The Miami Heat need a guy to play beside Bam Adebayo. Either of the next two guys could be the one.

Lauri Markkanen

Poised to be a star in the making, based on his first two season’s worth of work, Lauri Markkanen has seen himself and his role regress in Chicago over the past two seasons. The talent is still there, the size is still there, and he’s still only 24 years old.

A career 36.6 guy from three at seven feet tall, 40 percent from deep over this past season at nearly six attempts per contest, a career 15.6 points per contest guy, and a career 7.1 rebounds per contest guy, Markkanen still has all the potential in the world.

Beautifully enough for Miami, he may not get paid like it. That’s where they might can swoop in and land him for a steal.

If so, they should jump on it. He would be a perfect compliment beside Bam Adebayo.
