"Through the first four games of the season, Fontecchio has surpassed all expectations that the Heat (and the fan base) could've had for him. In fact, not much was even expected from Fontecchio heading into the season, even with the loss of Robinson. He was still relatively unknown, and there was no guarantee he was even going to be in the regular rotation early on in the season. All of those concerns look foolish now, considering how well he's played under the circumstances."
"Fontecchio has been red-hot to start out the year for the Heat, averaging 14 points and three rebounds on 61 percent shooting from the field and 50 percent shooting from 3-point range (on nearly five attempts per game). Perhaps most importantly, he's played a huge role in the Heat's early-season bench success, averaging roughly 20 minutes per contest. With the way he's looked to start out the year, Fontecchio fits the bill of Spo's next unlikely find."
Simone Fontecchio has flourished for the Miami Heat, averaging 14 points and three rebounds on 61 percent shooting and 50 percent from three through the first four games. He has secured roughly 20 minutes per contest and energized the Heat's bench with efficient shooting on nearly five 3-point attempts per game. Fontecchio entered the season with low expectations and uncertainty about a regular rotation spot after three NBA seasons with two teams. He arrived in a sign-and-trade as a perceived throw-in from Detroit, a move initially viewed as controversial. Early performance has shifted sentiment toward confidence in his fit.
