Miami Heat: Approach For Victor Oladipo Helps You Get Past Preseason Struggles
The reason why you feel so comfortable getting past that is the approach, which is an explanation of a few layers.
When you look at how the Miami Heat went about deploying Oladipo to begin his year, they have taken a cautious approach. That, alone, points to a natural rust that was there for him that wasn’t there for others that had gotten their preseason action going early.
You also give credence to the fact that even with the delay in this season for him, he only played in 23 games last season and that includes the 15 Miami Heat playoff games. That’s the deployment approach for his health but secondly and something that goes back to the Miami Heat’s depth, what does the rotational approach look like?
When you look at this team, Max Strus, Duncan Robinson, and Oladipo look as though they’ll be big-time contributors to the second unit. While you want Oladipo and everything he can bring, all-around, a large part of his role could be to help facilitate getting Robinson and Strus open looks.
