Over the last few weeks, Simone Fontecchio has slowly been regressing to the mean. And, in the process, the Miami Heat are making the realization that the Detroit Pistons had already come to. It's the unfortunate reality that Fontecchio is just not a player that can be relied on over the course of an entire season.
Fontecchio does have his hot streaks, but ultimately, he's just not a consistent enough player for him to be considered a true difference-maker. The Heat are beginning to understand that, and that's probably why Detroit was so willing to part ways with him this past summer.
