Q: Is Bam Adebayo attending to the following stage on offense as simple as Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra getting him 15 pictures a recreation, or extra about Bam busting his butt this summer time within the gymnasium honing his offensive expertise? Assuming Bam grew to become an offensive juggernaut, might he co-exist with Jimmy Butler? – Stuart.
A: To reply the second half first, Jimmy Butler has embraced and coexisted with secondary scoring choices all through his Warmth tenure, so I don’t see that as a priority in any way. And I consider Bam already has such expertise. Greater than something, I consider it's a few mindset. Can/will Bam, when he will get the ball, play with an eye fixed on the rim, or will his playmaking instincts take over? We noticed a number of examples within the playoffs when he appreciated the necessity to rating, and performed as such. After which he reverted. So, greater than something, greater than even offseason work, it will likely be about how the Warmth teaching workers handles it within the second, throughout the course of video games.
Q: I take exception to Pat Riley’s feedback about Omer Yurtseven. Omer had 14 straight double-double video games. As an alternative of highlighting that, which is fairly wonderful for an undrafted rookie, we bought a litany of areas to enhance. If he has all these areas to enhance, he will need to have freakish expertise. He helped hold the Warmth afloat when Bam Adebayo was out. But, he didn’t get an opportunity to play within the playoffs, regardless that he can go, rating and rebound. – S.R.
A: And never as soon as in your query/remark is the phrase protection included. Sure, Omer Yurtseven could nicely have freakish rebounding and scoring expertise. However there is also the opposite half of the courtroom. My impression is slightly than permitting Omer to relaxation on his scoring/rebounding laurels, the Warmth have been demanding concerning the work on the opposite finish. When Bam Adebayo was out, the Warmth had no different alternative. However they did within the playoffs. A part of it's there may be the hope of Omer turning into a two-way participant, and the Warmth hope that such messaging will resonate.
Q: Hassan Whiteside is a free agent once more and tweeting about loving residing in Miami. Any curiosity? – Sylvain.
A: So long as Omer Yurtseven is underneath contract (which he's for subsequent season, on the minimal), I can’t see the Warmth letting anybody get in the way in which of his progress. In actual fact, I’m considerably interested in what their method shall be with Dewayne Dedmon, so far as bringing him again as backup heart in free company.
