There are myriad factors driving the Miami Heat's early success on the offensive end this season. The discount deal for Norman Powell clearly helped. So, too, did Jaime Jaquez Jr., playing his way back into building block status. As per usual, masterclass coaching from Erik Spoelstra is also playing a pivotal part in all of this.
Another reason the new offense is working so well is the granting of a wish long held by the Heat faithful: three-time All-Star center Bam Adebayo is a legitimate net-shredder now. The same player who almost never looked at the basket from the perimeter before last season is suddenly taking more than seven long-range looks per game and converting them at a 36.
