It sounds like the Miami Heat are planning to do something they have not done much of these past few years: play Nikola Jovic at center.
The 22-year-old revealed as much during the team’s Media Day. And he made it a point to add that he’s “not worried about” having to shuffle between the 4 and 5 spots in Miami’s frontcourt.
This is a development many could see coming. One cursory look at the Heat’s depth chart is all you need to understand that they do not plan to rely on a bunch of traditional size, in large part because they don’t have traditional size.
