Heat traded for the absolute perfect fit under Erik Spoelstra

The Miami Heat have really not gotten the proper credit for making multiple genius moves during this offseason. Undoubtedly the best was pulling off the trade for Norman Powell, who I believe fans will soon see is a perfect fit for this Heat team in Erik Spoelstra's system.

Everything about Powell’s game seems tailor-made for what Miami needed, especially in the wake of Duncan Robinson’s departure. Last season with the Los Angeles Clippers, Powell quietly shot 44% on catch-and-shoot attempts. He was just as impressive operating off handoffs, converting 43% of those looks as well.

Those numbers are not just impressive in a vacuum, they mirror the type of actions Spoelstra has relied on for years.
