Heroes don't ask for provenance! In these years of the NBA, it is not unusual for Yuanlang to be unemployed, and it is also common to lose the draft with a contract of 100 million yuan.
Who can believe it! An older man who lost the draft, with a base salary of 1.67 million, was no. 1 in the league with a plus-minus value in the playoffs
The Heat led the 76ers 2-0! One step away from the East Final, look at the Heat's starting and substitute lineups, it is really incomprehensible, 90 million Mr. Duncan was abandoned, All-Star Oladipo played as a substitute.
Among the heat's five starters, two of them lost the draft with a base salary. One was Vincent and the other was Strus. Lowry is injured and Vincent's starter is understandable, but what about Strus?
Averaging 10.8 points per game in the playoffs, shooting 41.1 percent from the field and 34 percent from three-point range, Strus is average. Why would the Heat abandon Mr. Duncan Robinson 90 million, but use a lost draft?
One, defense
93.5！ That's Strus's playoff defensive efficiency, ranking No. 1 on the team and No. 5 in the league.
He averaged 13.9 defensive pairs per game in the playoffs, ranking first on the team, and against Strus defense, the opposing player shot 45.4 percent. Look at Duncan Robinson again,
Defensive efficiency of 114.1, the team's first to last, averaging only 5.7 defensive pairs per game in the playoffs. One defense is 1st to last, one is 1st in positive numbers,
Although Duncan's big contract of 90 million will only expire in 2026, and this year is only the first year, but there is no way, in order to win the playoffs, the Heat can only endure the pain of abandoning it.
Two or three-pointers
The 34.5 percent three-point shooting percentage isn't high, but Strus averaged 2.9 three-pointers per game in the playoffs this year, the no. 1 on the team and the only one on the Heat team to average more than two three-pointers per game.
With a playoff offensive efficiency of 119, it ranks 5th on the team. Being able to defend on the court, being able to shoot three points, and not dragging his feet on offense, such a Strus, the starting is too normal.
Three, positive and negative values
14.6, no. 1 in the league, which is Strus's best place, look at the players behind Strus, Alphabet Brother 14, Adebayo 13, Doncic 12.5, Butler 12. Either the team boss, or Mr. Billion, Strus Cattle is not a bull.
Strus's 2-year, 3.42 million base salary contract expires in 2023 and is not guaranteed next season, and although the playoffs are outstanding, it is still a bit difficult for Strous to get a big contract this summer.
First, the environment
The Heat played too easily in this year's playoffs! Although the Hawks reached the East Finals last season, they have slipped too much this season, otherwise they would not have played the play-offs, with an easy 4-1 in the first round, and the 76ers who met Embiid's absence in the semifinals. Strus has yet to prove his defensive ability in a really tough fight.
Second, the older rookie
Although he has only played three seasons in the league, Strus is now 26 years old and has little upside potential.
Third, the lessons of the past
Giving Duncan Robinson a 90 million contract, the Heat management complained bitterly and regretted, Strus defended better than Duncan, but the three points were not as good as Duncan. With Duncan's lessons, heat management will definitely have to think twice.
Looking at the Heat's current main lineup, this team is really a god-like presence.
Only Oladipo had a high pick, Butler 30 with the pick, Adebayo with 14 picks, Lowry with 24 picks, Tucker with 35 picks, Hiro with 13 picks, Dedmund lost the draft, Vincent lost the draft, Strus lost the draft, Duncan lost the draft.
Fans, how much is Strus worth the contract? Oladipo, Strus, Hiro, Vincent, who will the Heat leave behind this summer? Who to give a good contract to? Leave me a message to discuss.
