"The Powell-Herro dynamic was a huge bust for the Heat, and they now have the stats that will undoubtedly feed them that much-needed realization before a huge free-agency decision on the All-Star guard."
"Powell allowed 51.6 percent shooting to players he was guarding, while Herro wasn't much better, allowing 49.5 percent shooting to the players he was guarding."
"They were so similar, especially on the defensive end of the floor, that it did significantly more harm than good for the Heat whenever they were on the floor."
"While there were certainly some bright points in the season for Powell, he's certainly a player the team can live without."
The Miami Heat have concluded that Norman Powell cannot return, especially with Tyler Herro's potential return. The duo's defensive struggles were significant, with Powell allowing 51.6% shooting and Herro 49.5%. Their similar playing styles created a detrimental effect on the team's defense. The Heat are realizing the need to avoid repeating this mistake and should simplify their free-agency decision regarding Powell, who is not a priority for the team moving forward.
