Jimmy Butler took all the headlines in Miami this offseason as the team grabbed one of the most wanted free-agents available. However, we can arguably say that the reason why the team has been extremely competitive this season is due to other additions. Players like Kendrick Nunn, Tyler Herro, and Duncan Robinson have been performing at a level that was difficult to imagine at the beginning of the season and the improvement showed by Bam Adebayo is also a remarkable point that needs to be highlighted. Miami currently sits third in the Eastern Conference, 4.5 games behind the Milwaukee Bucks. With 20 wins and 8 losses, Miami is exhibiting great performances on the court, especially at home where the team lost just once in 12 games.

Kendrick Nunn: The highest-scoring undrafted player

If we count the first five games of the season, Nunn in the highest-scoring undrafted player in NBA history. Averaging 22.4 PPG during this period, only Durant and Stackhouse scored more points in their first five games as a rookie. Nunn is averaging 16.5 PPG, shooting 45.3% from the field and 36% from behind the arc. From being undrafted in the 2018 Draft class to playing for the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League that year, Nunn ground up his way into the NBA. Having played beside Jabari Parker at Simeon Career Academy, Nunn is one of the biggest surprises of the League and he's surely in contention to win the Rookie of the Year award. If that happens, the 24-year-old will be the oldest player to get that distinction.

A memorable night against the Atlanta Hawks

The Heat came from a 6-point deficit with just 59.9 seconds left in regulation to win in overtime. A 16-0 run to begin the overtime was decisive for Miami, as Nunn reached a career-high 36 points. The guard shot 14-26 from the field, adding six rebounds and four assists.

Ended the 76ers' unbeaten home record

A remarkable win at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, as the Miami Heat ended a 14-0 home record by the Sixers. Nunn led the scoring with 26 points.
