The Miami Heat’s offense is clogged. And the plunger needed to clear everything up may be … Bam Adebayo’s three-point shot?
If you’ve watched the Heat over the last couple of seasons, then you know their biggest issue is scoring. Miami finished 25th in offensive rating in 2023. The Heat are 24th this season, basically only ahead of teams that haven’t been taken seriously all season. In fact, since Jimmy Butler arrived in ’19, Miami has had only one season in the top 10 in offensive efficiency.
One of the biggest issues plaguing the Heat is their two best players—Butler and Adebayo—aren’t taken seriously as deep shooting threats, which is an anomaly among teams trying to compete at a serious level. Adebayo, however, is working on changing that.
