Victor Oladipo is surprised himself his body is holding up in bigger workload
Oladipo has managed to log 30-plus minutes in eight of his last nine games entering Wednesday. “A little bit, I can’t lie,” Oladipo said when asked if he has been surprised with how good he feels physically while playing extended minutes this season. “But sitting back and really reflecting, you see how much work I put in and how much I invest in my body. So it’s no surprise that I’m still feeling good, and I’m going to continue to keep feeling better as the year goes on.”

The way Oladipo uses the rim to his advantage on those drives is noticeable
Flips it up on the left side, closing off help defenders
Good stuff – 9:38 PM

With the Heat having their full starting lineup in place, Spo is going with a nine-man rotation with Oladipo, Vincent, Strus and Orlando Robinson. Doesn’t seem to be any planned minutes for Highsmith. – 8:57 PM

“He’s just more confident.”
“He’s making decisions right away and doing it, rolling with it.”
“You know Myles, he can score from all three levels.”

More on this storyline
“It’s really encouraging,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said of Oladipo’s recent play. “He’s a major X-factor for our team. That’s what we had hoped for, that’s what we anticipated. … He’s had the mental and emotional stability to let it happen at the right pace and happen organically.” -via Miami Herald / January 18, 2023
