Okay so Fab Melo the center for the Syracuse has declared to enter his name for the NBA draft
http://blog.syracuse.com/orangebasketba ... gible.htmlGood defensive center...7 foot tall 275, good shot blocker, has character issues and work ethic issues but who gives ****, that's why he is gonna be at the end of the 1st round and early second round.
This draft is short on Big men that are good defenders.
Fab Melo is raw as s*** though. He's gonna be a DeAndre Jordan if the Heat take him and slap him around and tell him he is lucky to be 7 foot tall and make millions of dollars just jumping at balls...that didn't sound right...
Played in a zone defense scheme, anchored a top 5 team's defense, lets get this guy and not worry about defense from the center position.

The sad reality.

I think our number one pick this year is dependent in whether the Cavs want it or nit? IDK. No way it will be in the twenties. Probably 30th or 31st pick.

I'm sure it's a low 1st round and I'm sure the Cavs want it lol.
Something about swapping with Cleveland... Idk...

yup. we about to pick up another fatty out of the 2nd round!

no really, I mean remember Jarvis Varnado? we still have his rights I believe... cut Juwan and put him in next year. It's just, the Heat don't use anybody... only guy was Cole.
But I mean, they can still get a Center... but in the lower picks...
If the guy is better than Pittman, Pittman is going to be trade bait.

Fab Melo is a complete idiot, dude is 22 and is a sophmore, I am telling you, nobody will pick up this guy until late in the 1st or mid 2nd round.
He's a DeAndre Jordan, and he just got ineligible to play in the NCAA tournament.
They gonna see that he is already 22, a dumbass, and extremely raw and the Heat, gonna get him and turn him into a defensive beast...

Look at the Mock draft
http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2012/lmao they got Cavs having Fab Melo haha. These things aren't true but it's nice seeing the picks.
There's another Center the mock draft has us getting, Festus Ezeli...
lmao it has Cavs getting 2 Centers... they drafted a C already though damn. And there's more Centers available in the draft than I thought.
AND HOPEFULLY IN SHAPE.

Fab Melo isn't fat, he is in good shape and he plays more than 20 mins.
And Jarvis Varnado has a 2 year country in Israel right now.
Fab Melo is the answer guys, he our savior.
But no honestly, this is the only guy in the draft that is worth a damn that can be drafted by the Heat.

What do you mean a Heat type of guy? Good defensively, bad offensively?

it's expected.... it's what Riles loves man.
edit : the draft doesn't look too bad this time. Last time it was waaaaaaaay too many PG's man. I think the Cavs will try to draft a PF or SG or something, or an SF, and not 2 Centers man lol.

Oh yeah they won't get 2 centers, team need hasn't be taken into account in the Mock so it is just ranking players basically.

yeah. Ah so Fab Melo will be in the 2nd round possibly. I know he's a bit popular as well. Will be interesting.
I thought we had a 2nd rounder too, but I guess not.
and who knows... Riley might trade to be in the 1st round again lol.

I honestly want a 6th man that can just flat out score on the Heat...
I am looking at Tony Worten
I wish the Heat would trade up and buy a pick.
Get Tony Wroten and Fab Melo

That Draft Express summary of Festus Ezel does not look so bad. Though, Fab seems to be more talented. Because Festus is a college senior, the Heat will probably pick him up due to that so called "Veteran Experience" of spending 4 years in college and not coming into the NBA completely raw.

Tony Worten is only 18 and he was a top guard coming out of High School and there ARE better guards than him in the draft.
He's 6'5 plays both PG/SG, he is ball dominant and doesn't have a jumper but if he is there, you have to take him and then buy a 2nd rounder to get Fab Melo. Too much talent in the kid, could be able to take over as point guard of the bench or even starter.

True but come on, he's is Joel 2.0
He can't catch, bobbles passes, no I do not want that s*** again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOBYpDJu5A0Get's after it on the boards, blocks shots... meh he does not seem so bad. ATLEAST he can rebound better than Joel man, atleast lol.
and I don't think we're getting another PG, though Tony is an SG apparently. But we have Miller, Harris (prob won't be with team next year), sometimes Battier, playing that role already. Then Cole is the back up.
I know there will be some changes if we don't win this year though lol...

More Tony Wroten ish...
http://swishscout.com/?page_id=3721Looking at the draft and looking at his stats, he has to be there late in the 1st and mid 2nd
Pat get another draft pick and we would have 2 guys that are raw and supremely talented in the draft on the cheap.
Nobody wants to trade with the Heat and nobody wants to play here so Heat have to develop
Plus with tony wroten and cole and the Heat shooters...nightmare.
