Why the Miami Heat should be pursuing Kevin Love and Otto Porter Jr before Rudy Gay On the other hand, he has made 36 percent of his above-the-break threes on 2.3 shots per game. Gay has converted 36.3 percent of his catch and shoot threes since the 2013-14 season on 2.4 attempts per game. Unfortunately for Miami, Gay would only be a slightly passable option in both of these areas. Catch and shoots account for at least 84 percent of those attempts as they have averaged 2.7 and 5.3 per game. Like last season, a significant portion of their attempts has come from above the break as Iguodala and Olynyk are averaging 1.6 and 5 per game, respectively. Power forwards are being utilized in the same way this season as Igoudala and Kelly Olynyk are taking more than 73 percent of their shots from behind the arc averaging 3.2 and 6.3 per game, respectively. More importantly, Iguodala and Crowder took a significant portion of their catch and shoot threes from above the break as they averaged 1.1 and 4.2 above the break threes per game, respectively. At least 65 percent of those attempts were catch and shoots as they averaged 1.9 and 4.2 per game, respectively. Andre Iguodala and Jae Crowder attempted more than 53 percent of their shots from behind the arc after the Heat acquired them from Memphis last season, averaging 2.2 and 6.4 per game, respectively. Head coach Erik Spoelstra has been using the power forward position as a floor spacer. How the Miami Heat use power forwards on offense Although the Heat are interested in Gay, is it wise for the team to pursue him? No, as other inexpensive options would be a slightly better fit for the team. Miami is pursuing a Gay trade because they believe it is an inexpensive way to strengthen their power forward position. Clutch of Five Reasons Sports Network tweeted February 16th that Miami has reached out to San Antonio to inquire about the availability of Gay.
