As I mentioned a week ago, KZ Okpala has an opportunity to crack the rotation in his third NBA season with the Miami Heat. But from what we’ve seen last year and in the 2021 summer league, he doesn’t appear to be ready for a rotation spot.
In the just-concluded summer league, Okpala shot just 23.5 percent from both the field overall and 3-point range. He played well in the finale today against the Dallas Mavericks, going 3-of-4 from downtown.
KZ Okpala now with 13 points with 3-of-4 shooting on threes.
