30 Days 30 Team Heat: The positioning of Hero, Wiggins and Adebayo?

6:25pm, 7 October 2025Basketball

Ten years later, Miami Heat began to rebuild again.

In 2014, LeBron was sent away and rebuilt with the staying Wade and Bosh.

Two years later Wade ran away from Chicago.

Jimmy Butler arrives in 2019: The heat rises again, with the finals twice in 2020 and 2023.

Season 2025-26, will Hero, Wiggins and Adebayo bear another hot job?

Or, Riley takes a look? Coach Spoelstra is so outstanding that he can make the reconstruction calm - in 2018, Re could even make the playoffs with the rebuilding of Dragic and Olynik. The heat of 2020 and 2023 are, in Adebayo's words, "diamonds in the soil."

What miracle will he create next season?

Use provocation to make Wontechio compete with Buzzeris next door?

Let Xiaomi Michelle's pass + defense play Lowry, which makes Sacramento fans so angry that they continue to scold the Kings' management?

Inspire Hame's occasional Kobe Bryant's back-to-back pace in the rookie year?

Let Jovic truly integrate into the NBA? Let Powell continue his best career performance in his Clippers last season?

Wigkins went to Miami last season and was not adapted to the environment for a while, and immediately scored the second highest single game of 42 points - although it was just against the Hornets.

All 6-7 to 6-9 players in the world will find themselves under Coach Spoostera.

Off topic: Wiggins' performance in the Heat last season was a bit off-court factor: He just had a child a week before he was traded to Miami. We all know that Wiggins is a family-friendly person, how family changes will affect his season performance (think about the time his father was sick before). According to Coach Spoel, Wiggins has been emotionally and physically stable since this summer. We can probably see him doing what he should do again in every game.

(But it is not ruled out that he was replaced by Riley after he performed well)

The Heat team is really standing at the intersection of fate, but Hero:

Next season, he has to prove whether he can withstand the entrustment.

Hiro has two years of contract, and I doubt Pat Riley's vision is really willing to regard him as the core of the future.

After all, Riley was the head coach on the first day, and he brought the Magician and Tiangou; he went to New York, and had the Peak Ewing; he went to Miami, and had Mooning and the Beetles; he could give up the young Odom and Caron Butler in one go for the 32-year-old Shark, and then waited for LeBron in 2010.

Riley only uses the most advanced superstars.

Hiro is not a Magician, Tiangou, Ewing, Sharks and LeBron - by the way: the first names are all the top picks...

So, probably, there are three roles in the Riley system:

- Magician, Ewing, LeBron, Jimmy Butler: the team's ace.

- Worthy and the Elderly Sky Gou, Miami version of the Beetle, Wade beside LeBron: Ace secondary attacker.

—Dragic in 2018: Very good, but just a transition.

I doubt that Hiro will first be Dragic's positioning next season: he has to work hard, for example, to play a season that is averaging 28 points per game, proving that he is trustworthy; when the Heat finds the next superstar, he can be one of the core of the team.

When he became famous, Hero played with a murderous and bold and direct style, both receiving and holding balls, and both second-tier shots and first-tier shots, he could shoot higher and lightning snipers. His shooting has no comfort zone, and like the teenager Ray Allen's personality has changed from a lake blue to a fiery red. But before last season, the offense he adapted most was to take the ball, taking advantage of his fear of his shooting and wide space, and breaking out in an instant, and then retreating or pulling back after the opponent loses balance.

But last season, he played more magical balls: half of the shots were three-pointers, and more breakthroughs were made. Maybe because he finally got the key to the team's offense, maybe he finally grew up, he was able to slow down, hold the ball and pick-and-roll, and handle the ball more patiently when he dribbles into the crowd, and his organization became more decent, and he finally became the All-Star.

But after the team lost Jimmy Butler, his performance was somewhat disappointing: he played well, but not the Jimmy in 2020 and 2023, not the kind of LeBron in 2012-14, nor the kind of Wade in 2006.

Next season, he must play a season that is averaging 28+5+5 - this is a bit harsh, but we all know that he is not a talented organizer and has limited defensive ability.

If he wants to have a place in Miami's future and have a position in Riley's calm plan, he must prove that he has the top scoring ability in the league.

Wiggins and Powell will play the secondary attack every night, and he will play the team's highest score every night, or lead the team to 45 wins. He is already an All-Star, but not enough, as mentioned earlier: Riley only keeps superstars.

In turn, Adebayo does not have the problem of Hero.

He is simply Miami Heat itself, shining with the glory of Mooning in the past:

is not high but hardworking, not comprehensive but smart, hardworking, tough, tough, smart, All-Star, two finals, perennial player of the year candidate, one of the best defense replacements in the world, dealing with Trae Yang is like a parent training child. It is rare in the world that can cover most of the functions of Green. As long as Riley lets go, the Warriors will steal him.

Riley likes this kind of person, "I will use you until you die before your kidneys break down." Of course, his offense improvement has always been a step forward, with more long shots last season, but the team may need his long shots and face-to-basketball further - look at the Grizzlies' 3J! ——But a positive for next season: Weil and Jovic should eat some of his time. Ideally, Weil could play Turner Jr. in 30 minutes: this would be enough to make Adebayo feel relieved.

Adebayo has the least worry about compared to Herro: if Herro cannot play the team's main attacker and deputy attacker, he is only suitable to be the sixth man; Adebayo is a natural third leader in the championship team, similar to the role of Dream Chasing Green in 2018, he can be perfectly embedded. He will definitely be in the Miami thermal reconstruction plan in the future - he is not the core, but it will always exist.

After all, although he has reached the finals twice and has turned the game with Davis Giannis Jokic and others, Adebayo is only 28 years old.
