Ball-movement is a focal point in today’s NBA and the Miami Heat have truly exemplified that measure. As one of the league’s most unselfish teams, the Heat predicate their offense on ball and man movement, timely cuts, and an impeccable display of passing.

In comparison to their terrific 2020 postseason run, the Miami Heat’s unselfish nature was still around, but an issue for much of last season was the lack of shot-execution. Factoring in many lineup alterations, Miami would rank as the 17th ranked offense in 2021.

After acquiring Kyle Lowry during free agency, the former Raptors star will lessen Miami’s chances of reaching stagnation, as several players will revert into more defined roles. In an improved Heat offense, Bam Adebayo will have an elite screen-and-roll partner, while Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro continue elevating as off-ball scorers.

Despite Lowry’s arrival and impactful veteran presence, Jimmy Butler’s role remains the same — the Heat’s go-to star and uncanny leader.
