Everything Precious Achiuwa

[GOLDBLUM]

Was just doing some light reading from the Heat fan perspective I didn’t realize how down they were on Precious. They were happy to see him benched for the second half of the year. Looking forward to seeing what he can do. He only took 1 three all year with the Heat.

Yeah, I noticed that a few weeks back, as well. Was surprised as he’s looked pretty outstanding for us so far. Think he shows a heck of a lot of promise. Still so early in his career. Tons of room to develop. Hope his positive play thus far transfers over to the regular season.

Can’t help but feel like Masai and co knew darn well what they were doing, yet again. 😎

Weird how that happens. He doesn't do what the fan base wants, doesn't broadcast his intentions weeks ahead of time and then BOOM!
It's all aces. Lucky sumabitch ain't he.

He is only 22. Him, Barnes and OG are gonna be the staples on this team. Closest thing to untouchable, unless of course a trade for a superstar comes along.

Have played more under control lately. Actually passing the ball and letting the game come to him. If that 3-ball continues to develop, it'll be big for him and for the team.

IMO…jury is still out if he is really a starter material….but a solid energy guy off the bench and could be a specialist someday.

Very very young with ALL facets of his game that needs improvement….what I am sure at this very moment of his career…he does not excel of one specific thing unlike OG/ GTJ or Scottie.

That being said, it is so irresponsible to label him this early as “closest thing to untouchable” like what the ain’t the sky falling guy posted before you.

Just like with Gary Trent Jr. earlier in the season, most of you had knee jerk reaction to Precious’s poor performance over 4 or so games.

He’s a sophomore, on a new team, has a bigger role, and he’s playing the 5 (which takes most players a couple years to be productive). He’s going to come around and be a big part of this core. He already plays great D. He just has to play within himself until the game slows down for him. Much like Norm.

Coming along nicely. Such a forward-momentum (gets downhill with ease) kind of player, not normal for a centre.

A good one on Precious A.

Now the trick is for him to start stringing together 2 or 3 good ones in a row between no shows. I am confident he will be a real asset to the team over the next season or two. Worth taking the time to develop.

If Birch can get back as the starter maybe Precious can come in off the bench and pick his spots a little better, getting that consistency and efficiency up.

All quiet since this, hopefully it's an isolated incident on the team. Would be the first great thing precious did all year (I kid)

Since the All star break Precious has shown some really nice touch and hitting some tough shots in the 7-15 foot range.. A couple times off the dribble and over another big man.. Some of these buckets have been really impressive. Its weird cause he can still be a little clunky and have bad touch right at the rim. But when he a shot off in that mid range area he looks smooth as hell.. Maybe he is just rushing himself at the rim cause he is a bit undersized and worried about being blocked.

But those little jumpers and push shots, along with his 3 point shooting form are starting to have me really impressed and excited about his offense developing.
