The Memphis Grizzlies' 24th overall pick in the 2006 NBA draft, Kyle Lowry, is about to begin his journey with the Miami Heat, making his debut in the regular season in a few days. He is the most talked about and highly rated acquisition of the Heat during the offseason. Needless to say, the expectation thereof is huge, but Lowry is experienced and up to the task.

The six-time All-Star made four appearances for the Heat in preseason games. He seems to be bonding well with the team and developing good chemistry. He secured double-digit assists (10) in the game against the Houston Rockets, aiding the team to secure the win (113-106) and scored 15 points against the Charlotte Hornets. Lowry will be huge for the team this 2021-22 NBA season and will deliver big for the Heat.

The 2020-21 NBA season steal-per-game leader Jimmy Butler was a joy to watch against the Celtics as he went up and down the court with the typical Butler confidence associated with him when he's at his best. He registered 25 points, four rebounds and four assists, having been on the court for 25 minutes. He recorded a field goal percentage of .50.0%, scoring seven times from the field in 14 attempts and once beyond the arc.

The 2021-22 NBA season will be the Miami Heat small forward's best season yet with the franchise. He is expected to lead the team in points, field goals, free throws, steals and assists and possibly guide the team to a title chase. The 2015 NBA Most Improved Player of the Year is one to watch out for, and he will be a huge threat to the opposition with a new and improved Heat roster.
