The Miami Heat finished last among all NBA teams in fast-break points scored (FBPS) with 813, while the Toronto Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks were tops in the Eastern Conference with 1506 and 1452 respectively.
Not only that fact stands out, but the Heat surrendered 215 FBPS (1028) than they made; on the other hand the Bucks scored 549 FBPt more than their opponents last season.
No wonder Ira Winderman commented, “The backstory of last season’s Heat was of a culture gone sideways — tardiness, sloth, lenience.”
With that observation in mind one candidate comes to mind in the Heat’s draft range next month: Nickeil Alexander-Walker (NAW).
