At first glance, it may not seem as though Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson has a very good handle on this season.
In 23 games played, he’s averaging 11.3 points on 44.1 percent shooting (37.1 percent from downtown), alongside 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists; his lowest numbers since 2015-16.
And while he’s had strong nights, such as his most recent performance against the Houston Rockets (he totaled 19 points on 6-for-10 shooting from the field, four rebounds and two blocks), he has also struggled.
For instance, on December 12 versus the Utah Jazz, he finished with just three points and two rebounds in 22 minutes, going 1-of-7 from the floor.
