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

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.


What’s the role that warrants our once every 2 years 1st round pick and likely one of our earliest 1st round picks?

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.


Come on. Let's not pretend they hit on every pick. Those were 2 out of how many?

Like Precious? I’m ready to get excited about our undrafted free agents. Feel like we reached for one of them here

We don’t have a pick once every two years. We had a pick last year, we have one this year, next year, and really every single year except 2025.

I trust that the front office saw something worthwhile.

This has gone as bad as I could've imagined.

Can't believe we took a guy that if we're lucky will be the 8-9th man.
