2. Get Better On The Glass
The Heat have struggled on the glass ever since Zydrunas Ilgauskas was starting games for the team.
Since the “Big Three” came together in 2010, the one true weakness of these squads has been their lack of size. Because of that lack of size, the Heat have struggled in the rebounding department ever since.
Miami’s leading rebounder, Bosh, averages 8.1 boards a game. More troubling however, is that the Heat’s second-leading rebounder is the 6’9″ Deng, who averages just 4.9 boards a contest.
This lack of ability to grab boards off the glass has contributed to the Heat ranking dead-last in rebounding in the entire league. The 2014-15 Heat have already established franchise-lows in single-game team rebounds.
Because of the way the team is currently constructed, there looks to be little hope in the Heat improving its rebounding prowess. The hope is that with the roster remaining healthy, and the addition of the 7-foot Hassan Whiteside, that Miami will gradually improve as the season wears on.
