The Return of Goran Dragic Holds High Importance

The Return of Goran Dragic Holds High Importance

Since Goran Dragic is a free agent this off-season, it's clear that Miami will make it a priority to bring him back. For one, he's coming off an incredible playoff run, where he averaged 22 points a game in the postseason. And while I don't believe people were taking advantage of what he was doing ...

5 Keys to the Dolphins vs Cardinals in Week 9

The Miami Dolphins (4-3) head west to face the Arizona Cardinals (5-2) on Sunday afternoon. The Dolphins arrive after a 28-17 win where the defense dominated the LA Rams. This alleviated the pressure on first-time start Tua Tagovailoa. But that pressure returns in his first career road start against a similarly talented young quarterback in ...
Duncan Robinson: A Klay Thompson Attribute That Is Necessary

Duncan Robinson: A Klay Thompson Attribute That Is Necessary

The Duncan Robinson and Klay Thompson comparisons have been looming following a historical season from Duncan shooting the basketball. Even though this was Duncan's second year in the league, I consider it his rookie season since he didn't get playing time in year one. Duncan averaged 14 points a game this past season, while Klay ...

Southpaw Slinger: Can Tua Become a Top 5 Lefty?

/ / dolphins, Football, NFL, Tua
It’s been 5 years since the last lefty quarterback threw a touchdown in the NFL. Tua Tagovailoa was the first lefty quarterback to throw a touchdown since Kellen Moore threw for 435 yards and 3 touchdowns in week 17 of the 2015-2016 season. Although Tua won his first career game on Sunday in a largely ...
The Tyler Herro-Devin Booker Comparison Is Real

The Tyler Herro-Devin Booker Comparison Is Real

The comparison that continually gets brought up when discussing Tyler Herro is Devin Booker, and rightfully so. The reason they got compared originally was that they have a similar play style. They can each play off the ball through catch and shoot, but ultimately thrive more with the ball in their hands off the dribble ...

Bam Adebayo: A Chris Bosh Leap Incoming

Bam Adebayo: A Chris Bosh Leap Incoming

Bam Adebayo just finished up a very impressive third season in the NBA, averaging 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists a game. Definitely not too bad for a 23 year old, and it's only up from there. When taking a deep dive into the stats of Bam Adebayo and former Heat player, Chris Bosh, ...
Three More Miami Heat Draft Possibilities

Three More Miami Heat Draft Possibilities

One name that I haven't gone too in depth about is point guard Kira Lewis Jr. That is because he's been gaining more and more steam as of late to be a lottery pick, some even projecting him to possibly get into the top 10. For that reason, there are a couple other intriguing prospects ...

Kyle Alexander: An Unknown Gem for Miami

It's been an interesting discussion about what Miami will do with their 20th pick in this NBA draft. A defensive guard or a back-up big seem to be the two options, but what if they already have a young big being groomed? Kyle Alexander went un-drafted in the 2019 NBA draft, after four solid years ...

Kendrick Nunn: More Than A Trade Asset

It seems as if the first thing that comes to mind when people hear the name Kendrick Nunn is a trade asset. It's definitely a possibility if Miami looks to make a big trade, since he's an enticing young player, but for now he's apart of this Miami Heat's young core going forward. Due to ...
