The Miami Heat might’ve gotten away from the NBA Draft with the steal of the entire thing. Taking a guy that man considered a man of mystery heading into the process, the term international man of mystery certainly applies to the newest Miami Heat player in Serbian forward, Nikola Jovic.
Standing a full 6-11, the lengthy yet versatile forward comes into the league with a reputation for being electric on offense.
He can shoot the three pretty well, create his own looks, and has a skill set that just makes you gasp when you see it used by a man of his size.
However and always, the offense isn’t the only important aspect that goes into making a basketball player. That’s especially at the professional level and especially when it comes to the Miami Heat.
A player’s ability to play defense is what matters most to the Miami Heat. Now, the offense is extremely valuable, but you have to be a willing defender.
