So happy for him but so sad for us Heat fans. My son is going to be so bummed out, he just got Strus's autograph this past May, when we went to TD Garden and watched the Heat freak out the Celtics.
I'm definitely concerned that our biggest weakness is SF and we traded 2 rotation SF's for what appears to be a shooting guard (who is probably 3rd on the depth chart behind Donovan and Caris, unless he gets traded). Can Strus play the 3? And does he play defense? I definitely don't know much about him, so I'd love to have any incorrect assumptions pointed out.
He can definitely play SF, he's pretty much a swing guard. His defense has improved, but he's not as pesky as some. Decent D, great shooter when he gets hot, and excellent basketball IQ. He's also super tough. Get ready for the juice!
Appreciate it! I'm excited but it's also tough losing 2 favorites in Cedi "Turkish LeBron" Osman and Lamar "Junkyard Dawg" Stevens
