Highest draft pick the Heat owns since they drafted Tyler Herro in 2019. (13th Pick)
~~The Heat also owns the 46th pick in the 2nd round.~~
Bronny 😉
The first question we gotta ask is.
Are we drafting for an NBA ready, we’re going to the playoffs type of player like jaquez? Or are we drafting for the future in 1-2 years wheres it’s post jimmy?
The last really notable 15th pick was Giannis and before that Kawhi, I trust FO to nab yet another stud
They need to invest into a 7 footer soon
we have no size but we also need a pg of the future
They technically can’t trade it because of their lottery protected obligation to okc next year so .They need to hit on both these picks .They have like 6 players on payroll next season .I hope they aren’t putting all their hopes on Mitchell like they did with Dame.
Do we get someone from college or are any overseas players that are good and fit into our needs coming in this draft?
The bigs in this draft kind of suck at the mid range, unless it’s like clingan but he’ll go lottery or top 5.
My dream is da Silva and Kolek, but Kolek will go end of the first so unless they trade back for 2 picks it won’t happen. Kolek and his playmaking would help this team so much. I’d also be happy with McCain.
Edey ✅
Would love a 6’10 wing who can defend and shoot.
Dalton knecht would be crazy
Collier 100%
We need to create a clone of Victor Wembanyama’s tall ass that can play every position we need at a moments notice. Seems like fool proof plan to me.

Collier for sure, I like the prospects of having a 6’5 point guard with strength
If it was a lower pick it could’ve been Bronny. But 15th to pick him would be an absolute waste
So long as we do not draft T. Kolek, I trust Pat and Zo will drop the right names when the time comes. If we can get Collier, I say go for it just based on potential, Edey should be a pass for us, just doesn’t fit our play style but I do like that he would be a legit C for us,if we get lucky and can draft a player that falls down to 15th besides Collier then I think we will be fine, no real difference makers in this draft class anyways.
if we get knecht or filipowski i would love it even kolek would be nice
the word out there is that jared mccain is the best point most likely available in that range and is also the most heat type of player. i remember vecenie last year said jjj was the most heat player and this year he says it’s mccain, heard the same thing from other draft twitter people. imo that’d be best pick for them. look him up.
What if they draft Bronny does this mean we can also get the LeBronBron

I need Tyler Smith paired up with Jovic.
Whiever we draft we should call him Jaime Jaquez the third
