Miami Heat: Max Strus Should Start Seeking Out Smaller Mismatches
Predominantly, Strus’ offensive production is predicated on his off-ball fluidity. He presents an ability to fly off of screens which compliments a quick and unflappable shooting release.
With defenses fully respecting his outside specialty, it’s often led to scenarios where Max puts the ball on the floor, bursts through high screen-and-roll actions, and attacks defenses off the drive.
It’s no longer in question that Strus can create his imprint on the game in a multitude of ways and his current Miami Heat role as a spot-up threat should remain stationary in that fashion.

Nonetheless, there’s always room for development, even for a player that gets all of his stuff going based on his one special dimension.

It was mentioned earlier that Strus has the quickness to fly past defenders, but to add the deceptive strength of a prototypical guard-forward build is a situation that’s worth exploring.
Finding favorable matchups for Strus to use his physical prowess as an advantage would take his game to an even greater level.
