The Miami Heat signed Max Strus to a two-year contract this offseason. The guard, who was on a two-way deal with the Heat last year, has shown some real promise.

He balled out in Summer League this season, leading the team in scoring. He shot around 40% from deep this summer while averaging over 11 attempts per game.

Strus has the potential to become a legitimate piece in Miami’s rotation this season.
