"All in all, the Heat will have a strong representation in EuroBasket this weekend, and it should make the front office proud. But it's not just the representation that fans should find joy in; it's also the fact that these three players have each made their own noise for their respective teams this summer. Fontecchio set the individual game scoring record for Italy a few days ago, Jovic has been arguably the second-best player (next to Nikola Jokic) for Serbia,"
"The hope, of course, is that their stellar play this summer will carry over for the Heat heading into the start of training camp, which is now less than a month away. It's easy to see why there is optimism for the Heat. The big question is, how much stock can be put into what these players have done overseas?"
Three Miami Heat players—Nikola Jovic, Simone Fontecchio, and Pelle Larsson—are set to play in EuroBasket knockout rounds for Serbia, Italy, and Sweden. Jovic has become a key contributor for Serbia, the tournament favorites. Larsson averaged 20 points per game in the group stage, helping Sweden reach the knockout round for the first time since 2013. Fontecchio set Italy's individual game scoring record recently. Their summer performances have generated optimism that the form could carry into Miami's training camp less than a month away, though uncertainty remains about how overseas play will translate to the NBA season.
