I like that a lot for Heat. Denim going a dozen spots higher than Jakucionis is ridiculous.

KJ at 20 is wild value. Thought he was better than Demin.

Three straight point guards off the board. Jakucionis has to become a lot better defensively. He is going to be hunted relentlessly. However, Heat program will get him stronger.

He's 262? Yeah that's why he was kinda slow on the tape. I'm still going to reserve my judgement on how he's going to match up against the true bigs in the league. Though you don't need him to since you have Hartenstein. He'll be backup, and see how he develops. He's not athletic. He can't jump.

OKC still needs athletic SFs IMO.


Lots of us did not eant him because physical profile that just describes WCJ


Jalen Williams, Caruso and Dort aren't good enough to cover the SF position?

Maybe they draft a SF at #24?


They're too small to go up against the SFs in the league. You saw how they looked against Pascal and Toppin. Small. They're strong everywhere so a small hole in the lineup isn't a problem. It would be ideal to get that 6'6-8" athletic SF who plays defense. Put him on bench, bring him out when you need the matchup, let him develop. That'll make them the most complete team in the league.

Jak has to be thrilled. Miami is going to get him a big second contract.

Pat Riley Zagging while the rest if the League Zigs.

Seriously though, for the pick Jakucionis is decent.

Kasparas is the best P&R player in this draft, Givony? Hmm...

Nevertheless, great pick for the Heat.

Newell or Wolf im good at 24. But OKC doesn’t really have a spot so they may trade out.

They won the championship so whatever they did worked.

But like I said maybe they pick a player like you're talking about at 24?
