"Before the season began, it appears that the Heat had a great dilemma on their hands - where they had two worthy starters to play next to Bam Adebayo in the frontcourt. But with the way they've played through the first six games of the season, there's an argument to be made that Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra is getting to the point where it's going to be difficult to trust either of them."
"Despite a strong showing in the summer, Jovic has not looked all that impressive through six regular-season games. Jovic is averaging nine points and four rebounds on 41 percent shooting from the field in 22 minutes per contest. He's been way too inconsistent for the Heat's liking, and hasn't been that offensive flamethrower that the team was hoping he'd be with Tyler Herro sidelined with an injury."
Miami's hopes to capitalize on a weakened Eastern Conference relied on significant growth from its young core, particularly Kel'el Ware and Nikola Jovic. Jaime Jaquez Jr. has shown improvement, but Jovic and Ware have been inconsistent and unreliable as potential foundational pieces. Jovic averaged nine points and four rebounds on 41 percent shooting in 22 minutes through six games and has failed to provide steady scoring in Tyler Herro's absence. Ware has displayed talent and potential but has been more miss than hit so far. Coach Erik Spoelstra faces difficulty finding a consistent frontcourt running mate for Bam Adebayo.
