Miami Heat Offseason Thread 3.0: Dame Time

[El Alonzo scowl]

What are we dooooooing

Cant believe my old ass stayed up for this

The ABC broadcast f'ing sucks. They're not showing Silver announce the picks. All they're doing is interviewing the picks randomly out of order. I wouldn't even know who we drafted had I not read this board or gotten a text from a friend. What a sh*t night f**k this I'm hopping on PS5.

Why are we taking a swingman when we have 37 of them on the roster?



This reminds me of drafting Daequan Cook when we already had DWYANE WADE on the roster.

Feel for Cam, hope he gets picked soon

[heatwillbeback]

Fair to say that our pick isn’t being traded. Today at least.

What? Portland doesn’t want a 22 year old senior as part of their rebuild? Who would have thought.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

They’ll regret not taking Whitmore

Jaquez is a baller but not sure what his upside is. He doesn't look like a high ceiling player because of this

I could be wrong. Dude definitely makes it look easy w the skills

-SHULA

Based solely on those clips, he looks like a guy who maxes out in college. He looks like the savvy old guy at the Y taking advantage of the kids.

Wait ... that didn't come out right.

He honestly could have been had in the second round.. but the Heat werent confident they would have the pick.. so they just took the player they liked the most from the workouts and interviews they did.

So heat draft Latino Adam Morrison and no Dame…

[AirP.]

This is a pick for a cheap rotation player, he's 22.

So we're going to run it back, Duncan slides back into the starting rotation and JJJ takes Strus' spot in the rotation (or at least competes with Highsmith for it)

That's going to be somewhat uncomfortable since it was 1 or more starters asking for Strus to replace Robinson in the starting lineup 2 seasons ago and it worked and he'll walk and get paid less than Robinson.

Looking forward to summer league. Jovic and Jaquez time.

Jaquez better do good being 2-4 years older than most of the players in summer league.

[Vertical Limit]

Cant wait to see JJJ and Jovic in summer league.

I can see why the Heat wanted JJJ.. theyve had enough with one dimensional roleplayers off the bench in robinson and strus and was looking for someone that can do a bit more..

JJJ definitely has more offensive skills that can be developed and could potentially be a more reliable player off the bench for us.

What more can you ask for the 18th pick honestly.. i mean we struck gold with the production we were able to extract from strus, gabe, caleb and robinson.. if we can get a more multi dimensional efficient player in JJJ with the 18th pick, then we did very well.

He shot less then 32% from 3 in college his last year, that can be somewhat fixed over time.
