He didn't play that badly when he got a chance with the Heat but he rarely got a chance. I'm wondering about our Heat coach.

He improved a lot since the beginning of the season with the Heat, but wasn't quite reliable enough to be a starter there. However, he seems to have improved his game enough that management realized that they needed to find him some playing time to continue to improve beyond what he was taught in Abbotsford. He's getting that opportunity in Finland.
