For all the swing votes regarding where the Miami Heat do or do not stand six weeks shy of training camp, there is one in particular that could both sway and shape 2022-23 for Erik Spoelstra’s team.
No, not Kyle Lowry. For all the concern of conditioning and age, Lowry, when he was on the court last season, was exactly the type of engine the Heat had lacked in recent seasons.
No, not Bam Adebayo. For all the conjecture about the lack of offensive explosiveness, only thumb surgery kept him from an All-Star berth and possible All-NBA nod.
