It is worth mentioning that the Heat have won 40 games in 60 games this season, achieving the feat of 40 before losing 20 games, which means they have the strength to compete for the title. Prior to this, the Heat had done this for 5 seasons, and finally reached the Finals and won 3 championships.
The Heat have been able to perform so well this season, and Giro is indispensable, although he is only a substitute, but the role is greater than the starter. Hiro has played in 52 games this season, started only 10 games, averaged 32.7 minutes per game, and can get 20.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4 assists, averaging leading all bench players this season and the only substitute who has averaged more than 20 points per game.
With the exception of Hiro, no other bench player averaged more than 17 points per game, including bogdanovic of the Hawks, Oubre of the Hornets and Clarkson of the Jazz. Therefore, in the competition for the best sixth man, Hiro is in an absolute advantage, and it can even be said that he has already won this award, and the best sixth man may also be the most suspenseful award this season.
