Funny I think the last highlights I saw before draft was Richardson's, he's pretty impressive athletically.

Finally read the entire thread, had to stay out of twitter and realgm til like 15th to avoid spoilers. With that being said......

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE GOT WINSLOW!!!! I was losing my mind when Mudiay went to Denver and I knew we'd most likely get one of Johnson/Winslow, but then I thought "obviously Detroits taking Winslow, that's a steal for them" NOPE!!! THANKS SVG!!!

I must have looked at a thousand mock drafts and not a single one had us getting Winslow, this is crazy. I never thought of him as a possibility.

I'd love to see a video of Riley reacting to Winslow being available. Since reading about him/watching film on him I immediately thought he's probably Riley's favorite prospect but always assumed he'd be far out of reach.

oh wow, Simmons last comment about the draft, and only comment actually, is about us LMAO

for sure man.... getting the 8th seed and being bounced would have done NOTHING for us, while we get a 5th pick who dropped in the draft

after Lebron left he took a jab at riley

he said something about he doesn't want to hear Heat fans calling Riley a genius anymore

then praises us for Dragic, even though he took another jab about the 2 1st rounders. He said "heat fans stop thinking your garbage can get dragic", and well it basically did... lol

then here, he praises us again though I am not sure we did anything. Apparently Winslow being lazy in his workouts made people get turned off... GOOD! lmao

I saw one vid of him working out for Denver he missed like 5 jumpers in a row from the baseline. Didn't see that from one other player whos workout vid I checked out. I guess he wanted to come to SoBe heh or at least I'll just tell myself that

Apparently people also think Winslow being at Duke, having national exposure and all that, is what increased his value in the first place.

he was technically a 3 and D guy in college, and a defender, transition scorer (but didnt score much). If he was at another school he may not have been projected to be first pick

just like how Mudiay was dropped, dude was almost a 1st pick, dropped to them top 3, then kept dropping. its cause he was playing in China of all places and cant shoot well.

meh... Winslow fits out future needs and will be a fine role player right now. Cant complain.

But im also prepared it will be someone like Lyles or Dekker, or worse......Frank/trade the pick for nothing

I put Winslow last cuz I didn't think we'd even be around his territory in the draft

What are we going to offer a team to trade up? We don't have many assets.

right! no need to trade up... just get him at #10... lol
Luckily, the player I want most for the Heat fell at #10.

Lml funny how that fan tweeted at Whiteside that we needed to trade him to nab Winslow/
NAH WE GOT BOTH OF THEM BRUH

UD4MVP · Post #1195 » by **UD4MVP** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 7:12 am

I'm down on Oubre but Wiz got pretty good value in him..He's has the potential to really develop next to J-Wall, I always thought his potential was Trevor Ariza type who played really well with Wall

TBH I really checked out of this draft because of the extreme happiness that we formed the Justise League. I'm gonna catch up on some of these picks and moves

dolphinatik · Post #1196 » by **dolphinatik** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 10:19 am

Oubre will bust dont feel bad. I really want to know what we were thinking with our second round pick. Typical Miami off the radar pick with 2 high 3 point shooters still available and . So Summer league in a week or two here we come

MathMan44 · Post #1197 » by **MathMan44** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 10:32 am

Positive draft for Miami not only in Winslow falling to them. But both teams(Lakers & Knicks) that would make significant offers to Dragic drafted a Point Guard. Should help with negotiations on that end.

Apparently we traded buckets of stupid to the teams ahead of us.
