The Miami Heat tend to go for a certain type of guy. Call it what you will at this point, they have certain traits that they look for and though they aren’t always the exact same in every player or express themselves exactly the same in totality, those are the traits they look for.
For example, guys with a certain edge are the types they look for. Think Jimmy Butler, Udonis Haslem, or Tyler Herro even.
They also look for guys that have already shown that they will outwork the next man, regardless of whether anyone has seen it yet. Think Haslem and Butler again but even a guy like Duncan Robinson, who though owes everybody a resurgence this year in light of the next fact, worked his way from Division III to becoming a $100 million dollar NBA man.
Tenacity, grit, hustle, effort, determination, cunningness, ferocity, nastiness (hey Dewayne Dedmon), all possibly synonyms or different aspects of similar notions, the Miami Heat want guys with a few, all, or a highly keen sense of one of these traits.
