When Bam Adebayo isn’t on the court with Jimmy Butler, Precious Achiuwa has unexpectedly did well alongside Butler. This matters since having either Adebayo or Butler in the game for 48 minutes means always has at least one All-Star on the court. Finding combinations that work when either one takes a much-needed breather isn’t that easy.
Per NBA stats the 2-player numbers for Butler and Achiuwa seem promising through the first third of the season. Of all the 2 player lineups for the Heat (minimum of 12 games and 80 total minutes) the duo of Butler and Achiuwa has the best NetRtg of 21.
