Everything has pros and cons.
It’s about figuring out whether the good outweighs the bad.
Which is exactly what the Miami Heat need to decide, when it comes to positionless basketball.
In a vacuum, the concept is a great one.
In such a system, you can capitalize on a center like Kelly Olynyk who shoots 3’s with ease, while being able to teach yet another big man in Bam Adebayo, to move the ball up the court. Simultaneously, a defensive machine like Justise Winslow can switch to a ball-handler when needed, while a sharp-shooter like Tyler Johnson morphs into a monster on defense like it’s nothing.
