He averaged 18.5 points last season, shooting 53 percent from the field and 40.2 percent from 3-point range. Vucevic could help boost the Heat&#8217;s offensive unit, one of the worst among postseason contenders. Pairing him beside Bam Adebayo would finally give them a true center and slide Adebayo to the four. This not only gives Miami multiple high-level scorers in the starting lineup but allows Adebayo to hone in on his defensive tasks.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_6opofw57a\">Vucevic is still a double-double machine who can consistently get buckets in the paint and on the perimeter. He is also a reliable option, having played at least 70 games in each of the last five seasons.<\/p>\n<h3 data-mm-id=\"_a3mrsvvkt\"><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Miami Heat may be in the market to add to their slowly developing unit.
