The Miami Heat had difficulty scoring last season, and the biggest reason for this was an anemic pick-and-roll attack from their ball handlers. The Heat were actually eighth in pick-and-roll man scoring efficiency, scoring 1.157 points per possession (per Synergy), but they were dreadful when the ball handler attempted to score.
They were last in the NBA in pick-and-roll ball handler efficiency, scoring a woeful .754 points per possession. The Heat were one of only two teams to score less than .8 points per possession, joining the 29-53 Atlanta Hawks.
If the roster looks more or less the same in 2019-20, it’s possible that the pick-and-roll attack may actually go downhill.
