The Miami Heat's offseason results indicate a successful enhancement of their offensive capabilities, particularly through the acquisition of Norman Powell. Last season, the Heat struggled offensively, landing in the bottom 10 for points per possession and No. 18 for effective field-goal percentage, particularly when Jimmy Butler was off the floor. Powell's ability to score at the rim and generate fouls will address these deficiencies. While the Heat have not focused on fixing the point guard position, Powell's contribution can be vital for their scoring dynamics this season.
The Heat finished last season inside the bottom 10 of points scored per possession, and were No. 18 in overall effective field-goal percentage, which is a combined measure of two-point and three-point efficiency.
Norman Powell is going to noticeably boost the Heat's offense. He averaged just over six shot attempts at the rim per 100 possessions last season.
Powell has also demonstrated an underappreciated ability to draw fouls. Just last year, he generated free-throws on around 16 percent of his two-point attempts.
Miami's summer is concrete proof that it doesn't need another star to win the offseason—even if landing that star is the ultimate goal.
