If this is true than....huh. For a team that lacks shooting, it's interesting we picked up someone not good at it.

I liked Bam and Herro. Very suspect here. We drafted a role player. Plz prove me wrong

I remember people throwing a fit cause we drafted Herro instead of “Romeo Langford”…. Even when we drafted adebayo as well. Nobody here does this for a living lol.. The heat organization knows what they are doing as shown by their history. They obviously saw something in this kid. I’m excited to see what kind of player he becomes.

That's my hope BECAUSE I **** HATE THIS PICK

Why? He's bad? I get he's older, so lower upside...


Old, not athlthic, not a shooter, not a defefnder either,

Has the type of game that won't translate against NBA players,

He's not a PF, which we need, He's not a PG, which we need,

He's like a hustle guy, 8th rotation guy on a good team.

I hate this so much I must be missing something

You are too good bro.

We are going to love this kid. Jimmy Butler is his fave player. 6’11 wingspan whoooooo


That’s sub par for PF.

No one turns to you for player assessment. Bet.

Defense is suspect in the half court. Looks like another g-league assignment.

I mean sometimes you need a role player. We drafted Jovic who was two years away from being ready and we still haven’t seen him get any minutes on the court. Who knows if he’ll contribute this year.

I like this pick. Some of you are too caught up in 3 point shooting.

Feels like he’s either a bust or a cult hero. No inbetween.

Hopefully his J was pure in workouts. He’s gonna need to be able to stick the 3 ball.

I can't believe this pick.....

It's also untradable - no team will want this 23 role player that can't shoot


I really think this front office might be losing it

I can't believe some of you are doubting our scouting. FFS, we are really good at this. You're not getting an all-nba player at 18. Get someone who can help. I love this guy. Fierce.
