Despite piecing together a widely heralded offseason, the Miami Heat still don’t have a conventional floor general to run the offense, or a ton of established veterans on the perimeter who can effectively generate their own shots. They have Tyler Herro, Norman Powell, and a bunch of question marks.
This is considered a potentially fatal flaw for Miami’s system. The lack of perimeter offensive creation certainly was last season.
And yet, this time around, the Heat’s offensive makeup might be a feature rather than a bug. Because thanks to the off-ball utility of both Herro and Powell, the stage is set for Miami to get fate-shifting breakouts from Pelle Larsson and Kasparas Jakucionis.
