The Miami Heat are about to field their most competitive team in a while and their most talented since the Big 3 Era, it can be argued. With that, they will need all of their guys to play to the absolute peaks of their potential and that includes everyone.

One name that has had the opportunity to fade to the background, appropriately and favorably so, Victor Oladipo is actually a pretty big part of what the Miami Heat should hope to do in the coming season.

Having him back and in some sort of meaningful role is actually key to what they want to get done. That actually segues right into his bold prediction for the coming season.

The Miami Heat will need all they can get from each and every piece of their roster if they hope to win a title this year. That, surely, means Victor Oladipo.

It’s so crazy… that it just might not be that crazy at all. Here it is.

Bold Prediction: Victor Oladipo Will Average, At Least, 15 Points Per Game In The Playoffs, As A Key Piece In A Miami Heat Run

Again, it may sound crazy at the moment, considering that he really doesn’t have a true timetable of return. However, with the fact that he can get back this season fully in play and with their being little to not a ton of pressure on him to do so right now, that should bode well for his chances of maximizing his return and accomplishing this goal.

The Miami Heat could certainly use it and it would be great for his morale, future, and confidence as he progresses through it all. He’s certainly capable too, as his versatility should allow him to function at a high level and even if he still takes some time to fully get back to whatever his peak will be after returning to real game action.

The prediction is bold, but not so bold that he can’t do it. If he can, the Miami Heat are a shoo-in for, at least, an Eastern Conference Finals Run.
