Through four games this season, Kendrick Nunn is averaging 21 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 3.25 assists. While he has definitely been a pleasant surprise for Miami Heat fans, those inside of the building apparently knew what they had in the rookie guard out of Oakland University in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
While Jimmy Butler was out for the first few games of the season due to the birth of his daughter, Nunn was the starting two-guard for the team. While many of us thought that Nunn was the guy filling in for Jimmy Butler, meaning that he would return to the bench once Butler returned from his sabbatical, that wasn’t actually the case.
