Miami Heat: They Are One Of The League’s Most Versatile Teams On Every Level
Speaking of Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo though, that versatility extends down to those guys and the players too. When you look at guys like Butler or Bam, both guys capable of doing anything on the floor, they are among the most versatile in the league.
Adebayo is a rare specimen of a player, built like few but with the skill of even fewer his size. Jimmy Butler is now the Miami Heat franchise leader for triple-doubles, so that should tell you all you need to know there.
Here is the kicker though! They are both elite defenders and two of the very best that the league has to offer.
They are real weapons on a basketball floor and also another layer of the Heat’s versatility. It doesn’t just stop there though.
While this onion could be peeled back several more times, when you think about the Miami Heat’s depth and bench unit, there isn’t one better in the league. There is no world where that can’t be true.
It has been this same unit that has helped get the Heat to the first place spot in the conference while enduring absence with injury and protocol-related scenarios. It is the Miami Heat’s bench that, though, is the 18th ranked bench in the league when it comes to minutes played at 17.5, sits third in the league at bench scoring at 38.9 points per game.
Who cares if a ton of that has to do with Tyler Herro, the fact still remains—that these are the facts. When it comes to versatility, this is why the Miami Heat are the portrait of it.
They can beat you, as a team, on either side of the ball when, if, and how they need to. They can explode on offense or from range, while putting teams in a torture chamber on defense.
They have individual players and more than just the two mentioned specifically, that can do a ton on the basketball court to wreck opposing game plans on both sides of the ball. And to top it all off, they have these players playing in both their starting and reserve units.
How can they be beaten? Well, if they continue to gel the way they have, with good health and a few balls that bounce their way, it might not be possible.
