"Skinny: After 25 games, we gave Adebayo an A- for his efforts early in the season. But he has dropped a whole letter grade since that point, averaging 14.0 points on 49.0 percent true shooting in his 14 games since. He is far from 100 percent healthy, but he's healthy enough to play, which means he needs to be better. His last two games were steps in the right direction on both ends. Grade: B-"
"Skinny: Herro's been limited to just 11 games this season, averaging 21.9 points on 49.7 percent shooting and 35.8 percent from 3-point range. He's still adjusting to the team's new offense, even though they have implemented more ball screens since his return to the lineup. He still has a bullseye on his chest defensively, but he's been a nice boost to the Heat, whose offensive process hasn't always been consistent. Grade: B"
