The G LEAGUE Player That Carried The Heat To The Finals...

Спорт

Less than 2 years ago, Caleb Martin was cut by the Charlotte Hornets… seemingly ending his brief NBA career. A forgettable player that made little impact in the league, and was just another guy that got some run in the G League but couldn’t make it in the NBA… he just wasn’t talented enough… not a good enough scorer… didn’t bring enough to the table… Now, he won eastern conference finals MVP (well he didn’t but he should’ve) and just made the NBA Finals - and the Heat could not have done it without him… A career 8 PPG scorer that was arguably the best player in a series that featured Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Jimmy Butler. But where did this guy come from? How do you go from cut by the Hornets… to starting for the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals?

If I’m Miami, I’m trading Tyler Herro for PJ Washington and Cody Martin and I’m making Caleb Martin my starting SG.

    The best thing to happen to Miami was Herro going down. Martin, Robinson and Strus wouldn't have gotten the same run if Tyler was still in the rotation. Plus, from scouting to development to coaching/front office, Charlotte is as poorly run a franchise as there is in the NBA.

    It’s crazy how every team doesn’t mimic Miami’s approach when it comes to their work ethic. When people say “how did he come from nowhere to this” (and they say that a lot about Heat players) it’s obvious. There are 400 players in the NBA. There isn’t a massive drop off between mr 400 and mr 401 or even between mr 200 and mr 600. It’s not crazy to say the 1000 most talented basketball players on the planet can play in the NBA. One of the main variables that separate the winners from the losers if work ethic. And you know going into the Heat you’re going to get worked like dogs. So when people say The Heat are unbelievable at discovering talent, that is true to an extent but their actual skill is making sure they squeeze 100% effort out of their players. And that can turn a 4/10 player into a 6 or 7/10 player.

    @@tpsam no, it’s that people don’t realize how empty stats can really be as a measurement of value. 28 ppg on 42% shooting is way worse than 19 ppg on 60/48/88 splits. Value in basketball is so much more than just “this player averaged 28 7 7 clearly he is better” because the context surrounding those averages is infinitely more important than the stats themselves. And the context is that butler had the ball 10 times as much as martin and didn’t do nearly as much in comparison to the amount of opportunities he had. Butler had a great game one, but in games 2 and 3 played objectively worse than Martin in 2 who shot 11 of 16 to butlers 12 of 25 and Vincent in 3 who ended up with 29 on good efficiency compared to butlers 14 on mediocre efficiency. Butler outright sold games 4, 5, and 6. And in game 7 shot 12 of 28 from the field where martin shot 11 of 16 from the field. The context is that butler had a great game one, ok game 2 and 7 while martin created a ton of value out of only 11 attempts a game and arguably played better in 5 out of those 7 games

    Martin had an absurd offensive rating and crazy shooting splits. Basically, the star of the team always gets those individual awards, Kobe over Gasol in 2010 is a good example. But make no mistake about it: There was a strong case that Martin deserves it, but Jimmy isn't undeserving, mainly because of his defense. But I think both players couldn't care less about a ECF MVP

They need more from bam on offense he is a big part of their zone defense, if he could average like 20 pts they wouldn’t need the bench scoring but they are so lucky they started getting that bench scoring at the perfect time this year. Also Duncan still sucks at defense but he been showing up on offense here lately
