"As the Miami Heat approach the 2025-26 NBA season, their roster almost reads like a list of breakout candidates. If Nikola Jovic isn't the most obvious example, that's only because Kel'el Ware absolutely is, and expectations are sky-high for Pelle Larsson, too. There are reasons to keep believing in first-round rookie Kasparas Jakucionis (despite his shaky summer), and Jaime Jaquez Jr. quietly signaled that his bounce-back is coming."
"Once he made it down to South Florida, though, it was as if everything magically fell into place. His defense and tenacity always figured to make him a clean culture fit, but he quickly became just as helpful on the offensive end. Over 30 regular-season outings (15 of them starts), he poured in 10.3 points on 50.4/44.7/70.2 shooting while averaging 5.3 assists against just 1.7 turnovers."
The Miami Heat enter the 2025-26 season with a roster full of breakout candidates, including Nikola Jovic, Kel'el Ware, Pelle Larsson, Kasparas Jakucionis, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. Davion Mitchell emerged as a notable late-season addition after a February five-team trade to Miami. Mitchell combined strong defense and increased offensive efficiency, averaging 10.3 points on 50.4/44.7/70.2 shooting across 30 games, plus 5.3 assists and 1.7 turnovers. Mitchell started 15 games and provided competent point-guard play that addressed a clear team need. Mitchell raised his stock with that late-season performance ahead of free agency.
