"After three straight bottom-third finishes offensively, the Miami Heat had to reinvent their whole offense. With the help of consultant Noah LaRoche - previously in Memphis - the Miami Heat prioritized a fast-paced, free-flowing offense that prioritized spacing and paint touches. The change is paying off. Through 16 games, the Heat are leading the NBA in scoring and rank 12th in overall offensive efficiency."
"Acquired ahead of last year's trade deadline from the Toronto Raptors, Mitchell, 27, has been a revelation for Miami. Mitchell averaged 10.3 points, 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals on 50.4 percent shooting and 44.7 percent from deep. While he hasn't been as efficient from 3-point range, Mitchell's one-upped it through 16 games, averaging 10.6 points, 7.3 dimes and 1.3 steals."
""[Davion Mitchell]'s a great competitor," Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said after their 115-113 win over the New York Knicks. "Offensively, we want to just pump him with confidence because he, naturally, loves setting guys up. But we're a better team when he's aggressive, when he's getting downhill, when he's taking his open threes. It was a good balance.""
After three consecutive bottom-third offensive finishes, the Miami Heat overhauled their offense with consultant Noah LaRoche, emphasizing pace, free-flowing movement, spacing, and paint touches. Through 16 games, the Heat lead the NBA in scoring and rank 12th in overall offensive efficiency. Multiple players are posting career-best seasons as the new system creates better looks and more paint involvement. Davion Mitchell has been a key contributor, functioning as a primary playmaker while applying rim pressure; his downhill drives yield a 61.5 percent shooting rate on drives and have added a new dimension to the offense.
