Before the season even started, many people already regarded the Heat as one of the favorite teams to win the championship this season. And the fact that the Heat have not disappointed many fans at this stage of the season, and their record is currently in the first place in the East, and the momentum is gaining momentum. The Heat have been able to achieve good results this season, on the one hand, because of the rationality of their lineup, and there are very good configurations in each position. Another reason is the strong rise of Hiro and Adebayor.
This season is Hiro's third season in the league. And this year he is only 22 years old. But at the age of 22, Hiro can average 20 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, close to the 20+5+4 statistic. He also averages 37.4 percent from three-point range. Being able to deliver such a performance in the third season of my career is already amazing. There is no doubt that he will be one of the core of the Heat's long-term team building in the future. At this age, Hiro is still in the ascendancy period, and it is likely that his average data per game will improve in the future, and may further rank among the stars.
Hiro is still in a rookie contract, and we can imagine that when his rookie contract ends, the Heat will inevitably sign a maximum salary contract with him, which is basically a foregone conclusion. Hiro gets more opportunities to exercise than other rookies. He's been working out in the playoffs for a long time, and this year he'll probably play a bigger role in the playoffs. After experiencing the baptism of the playoffs, it is very helpful for the growth of young players. And in the atmosphere of the Hots' iron-blooded team, Hiro is more likely to grow into an offensive and defensive player in the future.
The Heat have identified two cores over the next decade, Hiro and Adebayor. Of course, the two of them also happened to include the inside and outside lines. The Heat need to get these two guys to grow fast, not just in terms of offensive skills, but also on the defensive end.
Spolstra has always been a head coach in the NBA known for his iron-blooded defense. And in the Heat, their style of management is very strict. What heights Hiro can reach depends on whether he can improve on the defensive end and become a defensive player like Butler. If he can attack and defend as one, then he will have a player of the same age who is different from him in the league now. It's also easier for fans to remember him and hopefully grow into a player like Paul George.
