The Heat have no one with the size and strength to deal with Queta around the basket. He is a monster.

At the expense of whose minutes?  Pritchard?  Porzingis?

I get it, but don't think it is realistic.  They would just pick and roll with Adebayo on the perimeter.  I don't think Queta can handle that.  Maybe just for short time, for a change of pace, but MIA would target him on offense and sag off him on the other end.

He's unstoppable in that dunker's spot and we already play drop coverage with KP and AL. There is no match up the Heat can put out there for him. He'd give you less driving room but a good dump off option once the drive is cut off. His physicality would be a different look.

I hope Zinger heals fast and that The Magic and Cavs go 7. I'd still like to see Q out there wreaking havoc. I don't think the Heat have a match-up for him.

I think we see X in a playoff game before we see Q. Glad they have both, though.
