Miami Heat: One Key Improvement For Victor Oladipo Next Season

With that, his key improvement should be a sharpening of his decisiveness. This could help prevent the hesitation, over-dribbling, and perhaps even help him to add more rhythm to his shooting.

Now, to be fair, Oladipo got thrown into a tough situation coming back to Miami towards the end of the year, where the rotations were already in place. It’s tough to bring back a player who is used to having the ball in his hands a ton in a situation like that.

Taking a step back and figuring out your role on the fly would be tough for anyone as well. Having said that, there were too many times during the playoffs that Oladipo was just left pounding the ball.

Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals comes to mind against the Boston Celtics. In the fourth quarter with five minutes left, Oladipo did a little too much with the ball in his hands.

This game saw him over-dribbling and taking questionable shots, while Jimmy Butler was having another “Playoff Jimmy” type game.
