Miami Heat: Rodney McGruder is thriving as a slick-shooting scavenger

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s shiny and new Miami Heat swingman Rodney McGruder.

To most fans and media, this guy had miraculously come out of nowhere to anchor the team when they needed it most.

A 2-2 record isn’t anything to get the panic button out about, but with losses to middling teams like the Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets, I can understand why fans have been on the edge of their seats.

That one point win in Washington versus the Wizards didn’t help either.

For those of you who have been watching the Heat in the South Florida area or like me on League Pass throughout the years, we know that McGruder has gone by a different monicker: Slick Shooter McGruder.
