The Heat are a fantastic team, and in this team, they often have a lot of missed drafts, or players with lower picks play very well and become the team rotation lineup. There was Hassan Whiteside, then Duncan Robinson, and this season two missed drafts have played in this team, Strus and Omer Jurt Cevenn. It doesn't matter if you're not familiar with these two players, let's take a look at the overall performance of these two players in the recent and this season.
The first is Strus, who is 25 years old and has played for the Bulls and Heat for the first two seasons of his career, but has not been given many opportunities to perform. This season, Strus continued to stay with the Heat, becoming the team's savior when the team was short of major generals, shining in the game and playing an extremely good personal performance.
Especially in the past 6 games, Strus scored 32 points, 24 points, 18 points, 26 points, 13 points and 25 points respectively, and he averaged 23 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, shooting 52.2% of the shooting rate, shooting 5.2 three-pointers per game on the outside, shooting a shooting rate of 46.3%, among the players in the same period, Strus averaged second only to Butler, and his average number of three-point shots per game was the first in the team.
As a draft-losing player and a low-salary player, Strus successfully seized the opportunity in the absence of a major general in the team and won the recognition of head coach Spoo with his efficient performance. In the past 4 games that Strus played, he was the starter of the team, and now he has entered the team rotation and played a very important role.
Another player, Omer Jurt Cevennes, is a missed draft player who has played his first NBA game this season. As a rookie, although his game experience is lacking, he has a strong ability to fight in the game, especially in terms of the control of rebounding, and his performance is even better than many veterans.
The data shows that Omer Jurt Cevenn has now grabbed at least 12 rebounds in 10 consecutive games, which has broken the record held by Whiteside in team history. Omer Jurt Cevenn also recorded at least 12 rebounds in 10 consecutive games, the second in history of rookies, behind Griffin's 11 consecutive games. In the past 10 games, Omer Jurt Cevenn has been able to average 10.4 points, 14 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game, and as a missed draft, Omer Jurt Cevenn can get such data, which is evident in his performance.
Many fans may say that Omer Jurt Cevenn will become a center like Whiteside who only brushes the data and does not help the team much. However, from the perspective of the effect of the game, Omer Jurt Cevenn is not a traditional center forward, he also has the ability to shoot from the middle distance, he can try to shoot from the middle and long distance, and his defense can really help the team. When he appeared in the game this season, he was at the top of the team in terms of plus-minus and performed very well.
For now, Strus and Omer Jurt Cevenn are the team's surprises and discoveries this season, because the team does not expect much from these two players, and at this stage, these two failed drafts have played the performance of rotating players, giving the team a help, and their performance is eye-catching. What has to be said here is that the Heat are really a very magical team, almost every season there will be different drafts to play a good performance here, the team can complete the reinforcement within the team, and head coach Spault is really good at developing young players.
This season will be the season for the Heat to storm the championship, and if Strus and Omer Jurt Cevenn can continue to play this kind of performance in the game, then they will play a more important role in the team, and their steady play can improve the team's roster depth and strength. In this season's playoffs, these two players may surprise the team and become the team's surprise to the championship.
