Precious Achiuwa’s Impressive Season Opener Speaks Volume

The major takeaway from Miami's season opening loss to the Orlando Magic was Precious Achiuwa.

The Silent Emergence of Precious Achiuwa

Precious Achiuwa wasn't the primary discussion following yesterday's final preseason game against the Raptors, since KZ Okpala got to prove himself and Max Strus came out firing.

Could KZ Okpala be the Starter on Opening Night?

It is not a coincidence that there's a similar process that the Miami Heat put certain players through to make sure they're ready.
