This is exactly what Miami Heat fans want to hear. As the NBA season is on the doorstep, we continue to get more and more information surrounding this Heat organization and the overall expectations for them coming into the season. I'm here to break down brand new quotes from a credible basketball mind and what the overall feelings are about this Heat team and why the floor is a top team in the Eastern Conference with an MVP caliber player. We'll break down the quotes and why Miami legitimately could be a top three team in the East and how Giannis Antetokounmpo would be at the forefront of it, but he's not the sole reason they are going to be very good this season. We'll break down all of the moving parts on this episode of Heat Digest, but before we get to the news and information, I do have to ask, scroll down and smash that subscribe button with the season right around the doorstep we are going to be doing live streams for the games watch alongs and also post game live streams if you guys want to be up to date with everything Miami Heat please go down and click that subscribe button hit help us hit our goal of 5,000 subscribers we do appreciate all the love and support so again thank you guys for everything but now let's get to it and break down these new quotes and these are from Frank Isiola and honestly yes he's a very credible basketball mind but he's one of the few people and few people covering the game of basketball that seem to be in on this Miami Heat team so the quote is as follows the Miami Heat are going to be a problem the Miami media is going to be very annoying because the Miami Heat they're very legit if Giannis gets to 70 games he's top three in MVP their bench they're pretty deep they're going to finish top three in the East now that is the quote a quote from Frank and I honestly don't disagree but there are some few caveats in this quote the first one really being Giannis Antetokounmpo and before we break down the moving parts of Giannis and the depth and the matchup problems they can create in Miami let me know down below while we break this down what are your feelings towards this Miami Heat team do you think a yes they are a legitimate top three contender in the Eastern Conference or b not until the roster proves it but now let's get to it and break down how the Giannis Antetokounmpo is could be legitimately the LeBron James effect in Miami I've mentioned this before over the last few weeks and how Giannis through the preseason has really resembled that LeBron James tenure in Miami and what do I mean by that the name the idea that there's one really really really good player in all world one of the best players walking the earth now wearing a Miami Heat jersey that is going to demand so much attention with head coach Eric Spoelstra leading the way putting them in positions to be successful with Giannis demanding that attention he's going to be able to attack but once the opposing defense makes up their mind that they are not going to let Giannis beat them he has the ability to make one pass which turns into two three passes to making the right move to then get an open three-point shot or just an open shot in general for anyone else on this Miami Heat team which is going to create big big problems we all know Giannis last year 27 and a half nine rebounds five and a half assists and now playing in a system in Miami led by Eric Spoelstra with a surplus of three-point shooting it is really going to put him in a position to flat out dominate not only in the sense of point production which he has done for basically every single season in his NBA career but now i feel like those assist numbers will go up even more if you go back to those years where he averaged six and a half assists we might see something along those lines if not more than that and he could be threatening a triple double on a nightly basis that may seem crazy but just look at his last preseason game in like 15 minutes he had 15 points on 8 of 10 shooting 10 rebounds and 9 assists he was just flat out dominating and it was easy for him and again it was in a limited amount of minutes you look at the scouting report and the things he does well top eight what 99th percentile 95th percentile at shots at the rim number one in transition which is something we've broken down on on this channel in the past because Miami was number one in transition last year then they went out and got the number one guy for the last like seven to eight years in transition in the entirety of the league usage rate top 100th percentile which is fine because the assist rate also in the top 97th percentile he's going to be able to dominate the ball in Miami and he's going to demand so much attention he's going to be able to make the correct pass and the great other pieces in Miami are going to be able to benefit at a very high percentage I can't wait to see how this all plays out I think it's going to continue to get better and better as the season goes on and when Miami starts to click and it could happen game one it could happen game 10 again there's no real deadline on when it's going to happen but if and when it does it it's going to be a lot of fun to watch I mentioned LeBron James effect and something that I've mentioned a bunch on this channel over the last few weeks Kendrick Perkins on get up and or yeah what was it NBA Today I believe or maybe Get Up he goes on to say, "Cool, I thought LeBron had returned back to Miami. This was following a preseason game after Giannis Antetokounmpo simply went off for this Miami Heat organization it again, it is really getting to the point where things are starting to really get Heat fans excited, it was awesome when he came into Miami and they actually made that blockbuster trade it felt like things had fully switched but now it's so close, the season is so close, it really does feel like Giannis is on the verge of having an MVP caliber season and leading the way for this Miami Heat organization in the best way possible so we continue to the second part of Miami possibly dominating and that is with Miami Heat uh depth chart and their ability to create matchup problems with throughout the entirety of the lineup we all know Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo are going to play the role of two legitimate juggernauts in Miami but their surrounding pieces are going to be huge in this Miami Heat organization and their ability to succeed all season long and I'm not just talking about guys along the lines of Jovic and Fontecchio who maintain great size and can play the three or the four position. It's really the idea that you have Wiggins, you have Adebayo, you have Tim Hardaway, you have Klay Thompson, you have De'Veon Mitchell, you have Ryan Conwell, Pella Larson. All of these guys are in a position to be really, really, really good complementary pieces that give the Miami Heat a boost that they desperately need on periodic nights. and they have enough three-point shooting because everyone I named can shoot the three-point shot. Portis can shoot it. Seems like he's going to really feast in Miami, especially behind that three-point line. Klay has not shot the ball well through preseason, but we all know it's only a matter of time until that shot starts to fall. Obviously, Bam has shot more three-point shots than ever. Jovic can shoot the three. Hardaway can shoot the three. Wiggins can shoot the three. and Wiggins appears he's being drastically overlooked in Miami he's going to be such a good player he could be a walking 18 and 8 this up and coming season in Miami while playing elite perimeter defense and no one would really be surprised but they'd be like oh well they're getting the maximum out of Wiggins because everyone's overlooking him up to this point in the offseason Bam Adebayo is going to be the biggest question mark is his role really going to diminish or is he still going to feast again he never got to that MVP caliber player that everyone expected him to get to in Miami gets that 25 26 point per game with 12 rebounds really resemble the game of Giannis Antetokounmpo but his assist numbers have gone up just a bit over the last few years the three-point shot has now come into effect playing next to Giannis is going to be interesting to see how it all looks and how it all breaks down but I'm still very optimistic defensively we all know it's going to work and it's going to be the best defense in the NBA when they both play and are on the floor together. Offensively, there's still going to be question marks. I think, again, I am confident in their abilities to get the job done at an effective rate, but we just have to wait and see. Again, we mentioned Andrew Wiggins and his ability to get the job done. I think he's really going to absolutely dominate, and he's going to be in a position to really feast. If you look at last season, something that Miami did very well was score the basketball, and again, they were number one in fast break, number two in offensive efficiency and rating scoring the number two amount of points in the entirety of the NBA fourth and rebounding fourth in assist I think all of these numbers are going to be relatively the same this year top three in points scored top or maybe not maybe not I take that back but top three in rebounds top three in assist blocks will definitely change from 22nd to top 10 in my opinion the reason I'm hesitant to say that there'll be top three in points is because there's going to be games where they're able to win 105 to 95 like that is genuinely going to happen more than any other team in the league because of their defensive abilities one through five and going to the bench which I really and truly cannot wait to watch because I do enjoy that level of basketball I don't have to see every team score 120 points every single night let me know down below what are your thoughts and opinions on the abilities of this Miami Heat team being led by Giannis Antetokounmpo and really resembling that LeBron James effect I know they're two different players but that was the last time Miami as an organization and as a fan base witnessed that on a first-hand basis to the extent that we did and it feels like Giannis is about to resemble that and then some in Miami as that superstar all-world player leading the way in Miami as an MVP caliber player towards the end of the season and Miami will again be a at the forefront of a very daunting eastern conference let me know down below your thoughts and opinions and i will see you guys on the next episode of Heat Digest
