Miami Heat: Gabe Vincent has a case to be made for ‘most underrated’
Speaking specifically to how Strus emerged over Duncan Robinson in the rotation last year as a part of making their case, here is what they had to say.
"One, Robinson’s outside shooting regressed, and since his greatest strength wasn’t the same, it was harder to overlook his weaknesses. Two, Max Strus simply offered more—as a third-year player (first as a rotation regular) making minimum money. Strus’ success is a testament to Miami’s now-legendary player development program, but it also speaks to his quietly high talent level. He was one of five players with at least 175 triples and a 40-plus three-point percentage, and he avoided the specialist tag by holding his own defensively and flashing some ability to straight-line attack off the dribble and finish at the rim."
When you look at what was said above, most of it is right on. Now, when you look at the Miami Heat’s roster as a whole, the overall premise could be challenged though.
Though Max Strus is certainly one of the most underrated players on the Heat’s roster, around the entire league even, there could be another guy right up there with him. In fact, you could go as far as to say that the other guy in question is more underrated.
So, when it comes to the Miami Heat’s most underrated player, who would you go with over Strus here? That would be, one, Gabe Vincent.
