Do The Heat Have The Seeds To Be The League's Next Superteam?

Lot of potential on this Heat roster.

Do The Heat Have The Seeds To Be The League's Next Superteam?

The Miami Heat have title aspirations once more this NBA season. They added key pieces in the offseason and drafted promising young star, Precious Achiuwa.

But does Miami currently have the pieces to create a budding superteam? Some would say that they do.

Most notable of their young core is Bam Adebayo. Bam was drafted 14th overall by the Miami Heat in the 2017 Draft. Since then, Adebayo has blossomed into a certified All-Star and the first option in a given night to score the ball. Adebayo averaged 15.9 points in the 2019-2020 NBA season.

Another key addition was the drafting of Tyler Herro, 13th overall in the 2019 Draft. Herro showed a lot of promise, especially when he scored 37 points in a crucial playoff game against the Boston Celtics. Herro overall averaged 13.5 points in the 2019-2020 NBA season.

Of course, there is the Heat's most recent draft pick in Precious Achiuwa from Nigeria. Achiuwa was drafted 20th overall in the 2020 NBA Draft.

This Miami Heat team has shown a lot of promise, especially in regards to their young core. This is coupled with the presence of key veteran players, such as Goran Dragic, Andre Iguodala, Avery Bradley, and of course, Jimmy Butler.

Jimmy Butler has more than proven himself to be a key piece of this team since his signing in the 2019 NBA Offseason. Butler promised the team and the Miami Heat fans as a whole that he would bring them a championship. Of course, the Miami Heat did not win the 2020 NBA Championship. However, Butler helped to bring a Miami Heat team that many people did not think would make the playoffs or if not would be a second-round exit to the NBA Finals for a chance at a championship.

There is also a lot of promise in regards to the team's perimeter shooting. This is focusing on Duncan Robinson. Robinson went undrafted and was subsequently picked up by the Miami Heat. Since then, he has proven himself to be one of the premier perimeter shooters in the league. Robinson averaged 13.5 points in the 2019-2020 season.

This is all coupled with talks that the Heat might trade for James Harden, who seemingly has become disillusioned by the Houston Rockets. The addition of Harden will definitely put the Heat as even more of a contender to come out of the East and compete for an NBA Championship

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
