These last three games for the Miami Hurricanes have shown a real factor for a big-time player coming off the bench.
Miami has been looking for a shooter all season. It really hasn’t been falling behind the arc, but the Hurricanes have been able to score and win in the paint, so it didn’t matter too much early on. That changed during ACC play, especially when Miami got hit at Clemson and needed a shooter when the post game wasn’t working.
Now, heading into the month of March, Miami has a guy who has stepped up in a big way over these last few games.
Noam Dorvat, the 6-foot-5, 213-pound backup point guard out of Rishon LeZion, Israel, has become a real X-factor for the Miami Hurricanes as they inch closer to postseason play.
In the last three games, Noam is averaging 11 points and has hit 11 threes during that stretch.
He started the run by going 4-for-5 from behind the arc in the win over Boston College, finishing with 12 points. He followed that up with another 12 points against SMU, again shooting 4-for-5 from three. Then in the loss today against Louisville, he scored 9 points while going 3-for-6 from behind the arc.
On the season, he’s been one of the best shooters in the ACC, currently shooting nearly 50 percent from three at 48 percent from behind the arc.
Despite the loss, Dorvat is becoming this glue guy Miami needs. He is getting hot at the right time when Miami needs him.
