The Miami Heat looked terrific in their preseason games. Although just the preseason, the Heat played together and at a fast pace.

They looked more prepared than the other teams they faced, when whole and for the most part. That’s probably due to their hard work in the offseason.

Regardless, some players shined bright among the stars to start their season. It is clear who put in the most work this offseason and the results showed up on the court.

Here are the players who played tremendously in the preseason.

Honorable Mentions

Duncan Robinson

Miami’s most lethal weapon continues to prove why he is worth $90 million. He continues to be a sharpshooter from distance and can knock down nearly any open look.

Robinson was, a bit, quiet in the preseason, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t produce and most importantly, on both sides. On top of delivering a 20 point performance one night, his defense is improved.

Max Strus

Max Strus has had some ups and downs this preseason but for the most part, he made a positive impact on the floor. The most impressive part of his preseason was the fact that he proved he can be relied upon this year for shooting.

He shot 46.7 percent on threes and at a high volume of seven attempts per game. That’s efficiency!
