Miami Heat: Did They Address The Rebounding Issue This Offseason?
Miami Heat: They Definitely Got Tougher… Which Should Help Rebounding
Ever hear the saying… getting two birds with one stone? Pat Riley has.
Hurting Milwaukee in the process, he also pilfered P.J. Tucker from their roster, the ultimate tough guy. He should help the rebounding department as well, specifically.
Another guy who should instantly insert some rough and tumble into the atmosphere, while also adding rebounding ability to boot, is Markieff Morris. With both The Morris Twins being known for their gritty and tough demeanors since college, the Miami Heat’s sibling brings all of that with him and more.
Though Kyle Lowry could be mentioned here, as he comes with all the toughness and grit that anyone could ever ask for, he isn’t a guy that helps a ton with rebounding. He does add something mentally to help those other guys there though.
Lastly, as far as that specific area stands, Omer Yurtseven has to be mentioned. A beast of a player throughout his short Heat tenure and though against lesser competition, he should really help them in a few areas, including rebounding.
His California Classic Summer League numbers were ridiculous. He only averaged 26 points, 13.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, two blocks, and a half steal on 54.1 percent shooting from the floor, 45.5 percent from three on nearly six attempts per contest, and all across 28.6 minutes per game.
He’s since signed a standard deal, of course and though his all-around numbers were just too good not to mention, he can definitely help in the rebounding department too. Yea, Pat Riley had a vision.

The Miami Heat knew they had a problem last season and proceeded to address it this offseason. Hopefully, it all pays off in the coming season but at the very least, they’ll look like a typical Miami Heat team while figuring it all out.
