2. Chris Bosh
As far as the Heat’s most consistent player throughout the exhibition slate, that award would go to none other than Chris Bosh.
Bosh not only showed he was ready to take on a bigger role in life without LeBron, but he also may have proven he is ready to be the Heat’s No. 1 offensive option.
In 29 minutes per contest, Bosh averaged 19 points and 7.3 rebounds on .495 shooting from the field. Over the last four preseason games, the 6’11” center scored over 20 points in each game.
In regards to his increased role with the Heat in the absence of James, Bosh stated the following, via Gutierrez:
“I’ve had to play a role the past four years, but moving forward, I can show the city and the organization what value I can bring, how much I can turn up the intensity, how much I can put more weight on my shoulders and really hold that load and bring more wins to Miami.”
If CB4 plays in the regular season the way he did in the preseason, the Heat will remain one of the teams to beat in the Eastern Conference.
