4. Guarantee Kendrick Nunn

Kendrick Nunn a two-year deal with the Heat prior to the start of the season. He had almost made it in the NBA in 2018 when he signed on with the Warriors but they waived him prior to the season starting.

This season Nunn was named to the All-Rookie team thanks to the incredible numbers he put up. He played 67 games, averaging 15.3 points, 3.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and 0.8 steals in 29.3 minutes per game.

Nunn was extremely efficient for a rookie, shooting the ball at .439/.350/.850 over the season. I say Nunn is a rookie but he is 25 years old, giving him the life experience required to handle most situations on an NBA court.

He did sit in the playoffs but that was due to the incredible play of Dragic. However, when he was called upon Nunn was ready to play. His numbers were down, thanks in large part to his minutes almost halving. Noticeably his 3-point shooting suffered, only shooting at 27.9 percent from deep.

Despite his lack of showing in the playoffs, Nunn will certainly be a big part of the Heat’s plans for next season. The Heat will most certainly guarantee his deal as it is only worth $1.6 million next season. If they get similar levels of production next year, this will be one of the best contracts in the NBA.
