A completely different person from last season! Has the Heat’s new star forward changed completely this season?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Miami Heat easily defeated the Charlotte Hornets 144-117 at home. After this game, the Heat's record, which had won three consecutive victories, improved to 3 wins and 1 loss; while the Hornets' record dropped to 2 wins and 2 losses.

In this game, the Heat's substitute striker Jaime Jaquez Jr. maintained a very good condition and once again performed at a very high level. Huskers played 28 minutes and 14 seconds, shooting 9 of 14, 2 of 4 from beyond the three-point line, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored a game-high 28 points, plus 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal. He also had 3 turnovers and 2 fouls. The plus-minus value also reached a game-high +43. Hux also showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He has good breakthrough and finishing abilities. He can also create threats through outside shooting, and he can also have quite good effects in passing and organization. Hux's performance on the defensive end is actually worthy of recognition, and he still maintains a high level of enthusiasm. Overall, Harks has played a very good role on both offense and defense. The team's situation when he is on the court is also very good, and the plus-minus value of +43 can fully prove this.

Hucks was born in February 2001. He is 24 years old, 198cm tall and weighs 102kg. He is a wing player from UCLA selected by the Heat with the 18th overall pick in the first round of the 2023 NBA Draft. In the NBA regular season last season, Harks played a total of 66 times, averaging 20.7 minutes per game. He averaged 8.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 1.5 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. He shot 46.1% from the field, 31.1% from the three-point range, and 75.4% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Harks played a total of 3 times, averaging 6.5 minutes per game, averaging 1.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.3 turnovers and 0.3 fouls. He shot 16.7% from the field, 0% from three-point range, and 100% from free throws. Since the start of this season, Huskers has averaged 27.9 minutes per game in the first four games, averaging 18.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game, as well as 2.3 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. He shot 68.9% from the field, 25% from three-point range, and 84.6% from free throws.

Hucks' performance last season was very disappointing. His efficiency on the offensive end was slightly average, and his contribution on the defensive end was not outstanding. His effect on the court was not ideal, and his performance during the playoffs was even more disastrous. Considering he didn't make any progress last season, there are some concerns about his situation this season. Unexpectedly, Harks performed very well this season. In these games, he had excellent touch and extremely high efficiency on the offensive end. He provided a lot of support and help to the team on the offensive end. His performance was even better than in his rookie season. The Heat's style of play has undergone some changes this season. It seems that such changes can also have a positive impact on Harks. Can he fully utilize his characteristics in all aspects under such circumstances?
