"If Jovic can keep this efficient level of play for the Heat, there's reason to believe that he could emerge as somewhat of an answer for the team at the point forward position. Even when their backcourt is fully healthy, there have been questions about whether they have enough playmaking on the roster. After electing not to address that concern this past offseason, perhaps this is a role that Jovic could end up filling."
"So far this preseason, Jovic has tallied nine assists and no turnovers. Even though that's probably not a sustainable assist-to-turnover ratio, it's certainly an encouraging sign for a team that has some big question marks in the backcourt. At the very least, Jovic's playmaking prowess will help take some of the pressure off the likes of Tyler Herro and Davion Mitchell in spurts."
Nikola Jovic recorded seven assists and no turnovers in his second preseason game, showcasing overlooked playmaking that could address Miami's big playmaking problem. If he maintains this efficient play, he could emerge as a point-forward option amid concerns about the roster's overall playmaking depth. Jovic has nine preseason assists and zero turnovers so far, an encouraging albeit likely unsustainable ratio. His playmaking can relieve pressure on Tyler Herro and Davion Mitchell in shifts. Jovic averages 10 points, six rebounds, and five assists on 46 percent shooting in preseason, fitting Erik Spoelstra's faster pace and appearing ready for a larger role.
