The Miami Heat’s Bench Unit Will Be A Key Part Of Their Success This Year

And that’s alright. Here’s why.

For one, Dedmon can make them with good efficiency, shooting nearly 34 percent across his career but also at nearly 39 percent across his Heat tenure. However, it should also help keep the floor open, spaced, and drivable for guys like Kyle Lowry, Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and whoever is on the court with him.

And plus, well, more points is rarely a bad thing. That’s especially when you consider that you have that on the floor with two shooters of Strus and Robinson’s ilk.

And you know those guys can shoot it but with the way that Strus has continued to diversify his game, along with the newfound diversification that Robinson has shown thus far in the preseason and regular season showings he has gotten, you knew that a lineup featuring the two could be a potent one for the Miami Heat anyway.

With all the spacing it could offer, at the very least, whoever was out there on the court with them would always have a chance to obliterate the paint, as guys would have to vacate it to plaster themselves to the two snipers.

And that, in part, is what helped them get a huge win on Tuesday and should continue to show up huge for the rest of the year.
