Miami Heat: 3 Direct Offseason Attacks On Bucks – Giannis Defenders

The Miami Heat got a lot done this offseason. Here’s how they aimed it Milwaukee.

Stacked Guys That Matchup, Relatively, Well With Giannis Antetokounmpo

With the late addition of Markieff Morris to the Miami Heat, the Miami Heat had solidified their power forward rotation supremely. Something else they had done, was sure up a very versatile core of defensive peoples who would matchup well against a myriad of different playing styles.

While that is the case, something else stands out about the guys they signed there, such as Morris, P.J. Tucker, and even Dewayne Dedmon, so to speak. These are all guys that have, at least, had a bit of success at frustrating Giannis.

At the very least, they are the tough type that would serve to bother him the most. While they all have that same intangible thing that makes them the players they are, they come in a plethora of different body types and sizes as well, which also gives them another edge in that area.

When you are talking about competing against one of the most uniquely gifted specimens to ever enter the league and now, with the confidence of a title, a NBA Finals MVP, and other accolades under his belt, you need all you can to neutralize him. Note, “neutralize”, because you won’t ever truly stop him.
