Olynyk decision could become less complicated. And who Robinson keeps being confused with.

A six-pack of Miami Heat notes on a Tuesday night:

▪ When life was normal, less than a month ago, it seemed no Heat player faced a tougher offseason decision than Kelly Olynyk, who has the option of bypassing $13.6 million in the final year of his contract and instead entering free agency this summer.

Now, with pro sports facing unprecedented uncertainty in the coming months amid the coronavirus pandemic, coupled with the possibility of a lower NBA salary cap because of lost revenue, the choice could essentially be made for Olynyk and many others with 2020-21 player options: The security of opting in suddenly seems pretty appealing.

Even before coronavirus affected everything, Olynyk faced a landscape in which only six other teams, besides Miami, would have cap space above $10 million this offseason, per capologist Jeff Siegel: Atlanta at $49.1 million, New York at $44.3 million, Detroit at $31.9 million, Charlotte at $25.2 million, Memphis at $16 million and Phoenix at $13.9 million.

Those figures would change if the NBA cannot resume the season because of coronavirus (or plays a shortened postseason with no gate receipts), thus lowering the revenue figures that determine next season’s salary cap. (The NBA and union could opt to “smooth” the drops over multiple years, instead of having a significant one-year drop.)

There’s also the question about whether teams with cap space would even spend all of their available money because owners have taken a big economic hit during the NBA’s hiatus.

The Heat would have nearly $27 million in space if Olynyk opts in and if Miami renounces Goran Dragic, Jae Crowder, Meyers Leonard and Solomon Hill and nearly $40 million if Olnyk opts out and Miami renounces those four players.

The only reason for Olynyk to opt out? If the Hawks, Knicks, Hornets or Pistons gave his agent an indication that they’re poised to make a multiyear offer starting at - or close to - the salary he would be relinquishing with the Heat. But the market will be saturated with players of similar quality.

Though he’s part of the rotation, Olynyk averaged just 14.2 minutes per game since the All-Star break (compared with 19.5 minutes per game before), despite averaging 8.2 and shooting 20 for 30 on threes (66.7 percent) in those 11 games since the break.

That post-All Star break scoring average equates to 27.7 points per 48 minutes.

For the season, he’s averaging 7.7 points and shooting 43.2 percent on threes but averaging a career-low 18.5 minutes per game, down from 22.9 last season.

“It’s tough,” he said before the NBA went on hiatus. “Obviously you want to be productive but you don’t want to go out there and just try and go crazy and press to make things happen. You still want to play within the confines of the game and the offense. You want to take your opportunities when they’re there and maybe be a little bit aggressive because you know it’s your opportunity to make an impact on the game.”

And Olynyk rarely plays down the stretch; his 18 clutch time minutes (final five minutes of a game with a margin of five points or fewer) is last on the team among rotation players, excluding Leonard (who played only five clutch minutes before being sidelined indefinitely with an ankle injury on Feb. 3) and Andre Iguodala (who has played 12 clutch minutes since being acquired in February).

“Obviously, he’s paid to do his job,” Olynyk said of Erik Spoelstra, when asked about the limited late-game opportunities. “We are paid to do ours. It’s his choice. As long as we’re winning, and things are going well, that’s what it is. If not, I trust he will make a change for whatever he sees fit.”

Will the limited minutes affect his decision about whether to opt out of a $13.6 million salary next season? Olynyk was non-committal when asked before the NBA suspended play.

“It’s not something you think about [yet],” he said. “It’s your decision. You have to do whatever you see fit. If there’s an opportunity to capitalize, opting in or opting out, that’s kind of what you go for.”

Like most any NBA player, Olynyk clearly wants to play but has never made an issue of it because he’s considered a team-first player who’s well-liked by teammates.

▪ On the issue of clutch minutes, here were the Heat’s best clutch shooters going into this NBA hiatus: Bam Adebayo, who’s 23 for 40 (57.5 percent) from the field in the clutch; Tyler Herro, who’s 12 for 23 (52.3 percent) and Kendrick Nunn, who’s 7 for 16 (43.8 percent).

On the flip side, Goran Dragic is 6 for 23 in the clutch (26.1 percent), Jimmy Butler 17 for 60 (28.3 percent) and Duncan Robinson 8 for 22 (36.4 percent). Olynyk, incidentally, is 2 for 5 in the clutch.

Herro has the Heat’s best plus/minus in the clutch, with Miami outscoring team by 14 points during his 54 clutch minutes. Nunn, who’s a plus 8 in 79 clutch minutes, is the only other Heat player with a positive clutch plus/minus.

Iguodala is minus 34, Crowder minus 31, Derrick Jones Jr. minus 23, Dragic minus 22, Adebayo minus 17 and Butler a minus 8.

▪ If you missed this last week, ESPN polled 70 media members with NBA Rookie of the Year votes, and Memphis’ Ja Morant received all 70 first-place votes.

But Nunn placed a solid third behind Morant and New Orleans’ Zion Williamson; Nunn got 14 second-place votes and 35 third-place votes. Heat rookie guard Tyler Herro got one third-place vote.

▪ Duncan Robinson said he can still walk around South Florida and go largely unrecognized. Around the country, some people who see him yell “Tyler,” confusing him with Heat rookie guard Herro.

“I’m a regular guy, kind of blend in,” Robinson said. “I get confused with Tyler Herro a lot. Mostly on the road, getting on the bus, everybody yells Tyler. You get people calling me Goran sometimes. All the white guys look alike [to some fans].”

▪ Strangest thing an opponent has tried to do to Robinson to get him off his game?

“I heard one coaching staff say I can only shoot off the dribble,” he said. “I didn’t know if that was a joke or something. I hardly ever dribble. So I was kind of confused by that. I don’t know if it was a mind trick on me or if he was a lazy scout. People try to get super physical, tug my jersey.”

▪ So who’s the most underrated duo in the NBA? On ESPN’s First Take, Stephen A. Smith recently gave his vote to Butler and Adebayo.

“The reason I say that is you never talk about them as a pair,” Smith said. “You talk about Butler individually, but you never talk about the combination of the two.

“When you talk about Jimmy Butler, don’t just think about the 20 [points] and 6 [rebounds] he’s averaging in his first year with Miami. Think about the turnaround that’s happened with the franchise since he arrived. They were 41-24, top 4 seed in the Eastern Conference, and they rave about the leadership Jimmy Butler brings to the table….

“Adebayo, 6-9, runs like a greyhound, averaging 16 [points], 10 [rebounds], 5 [assists]. Lethal in the open court, can score around the basket. Both of them never hesitate to defend.

“The operative word is underrated. You don’t say they’re the elite duo -- that’s LeBron and AD [the Lakers’ LeBron James and Anthony Davis]. But when you talk about the word underrated, I talk about a pair that’s never discussed. Everybody else is discussed. You never talk about Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo as a duo. It’s time you do. Because guess what, they were pretty damn dynamic themselves this season.”
