Would y'all take the risk on Emoni Bates?

Not in the first round on guaranteed coin. 2nd round or two way? Sure. He has talent.

Same player I have been targeting for us. Need to come out of this draft with a 6'8-6'9 player who's over 220 that can play defense and shoot 3's from the PF spot. Apparently it's like finding a unicorn these days for the Heat. GG Jackson from South Carolina should also be on our radar.

Also my top choice for us lol perfect partner next to Bam. Personally im hoping we trade all our picks and assets to go all in for a championship this summer but he’s a great fit if not

Seeing Brandon Miller over Scoot at 2. Says a lot about BM being consistently stellar, but I doubt I would be able to pass on a lead guard like Scoot.

A perfect fit in what sense?

The only guy we should really take into account when thinking fit is Bam.

Lowry sucks, Jimmy getting old, Herro place isn't set in stone.

Just now starting to look into draft prospects. Reviewing Cason Wallace. So far very impressed with his potential.

Tyrese Proctor looks interesting. 6'5 raw but appears has instinct freshman.

I would expect Wallace to be selected in the lottery but Proctor might be available. That being said, I feel Hendricks is a better option if available.

Just get me a high level athlete that can shoot the ball. That's the main thing, anything else is secondary.

I think Dariq Whitehead is a good buy low candidate. Was a top 5ish guy but then got hurt. Is another wing but you take your shots and dont worry about fit when your talent pool is unbalanced like ours.

I have not engaged on where players will be drafted. But its way too early to know where a player will be drafted outside the top 3 or 5. The tournament is still going on. Nba still playing out themselves. Gotta wait till combine especially where the Heat will be drafted.

I just watched some of the clips on Hendricks and I see why there is interest

Sure, the combine will have players moving around, for better or worse.

I dont think Dariq is lasting till the late 20s like some mocks have him. Id say teens somewhere. Teams will be cautious with him.

Without knowing his character, hed be an easy choice based on talent and shooting potential.

Took a quick glance at Jalen Hood Schifino. Really like what I see physically and he looks like he has good techniques.
