First look at Jett Howard. Looks like he was coached to play Spo 4 lol

Just looking at his stats I can tell he doesn't like the paint. Lol

A player that has caught my eye is Reece Beekman. Excellent defender, good ball handler, good athleticism, good passer, very smart. Played off guard and defended 1 thru 4. Likely excell as a point guard in the nba being his natural position. Potentially can become a shooter. Has the fundamentals that would allow him to play immediately. Drew Holiday style of player

Appears to be a small scoring shooting guard (combo guard) similar to Nunn and Vincent.

A four year senior, like been well coached up and gives him the potential to contribute early.

How the Heat draft and pick up rookies will be telling of Vincents future.

Personally I believe Heat need at least two small guards who can compliment Bam.

The past 4 years the Heat have tried to convert a small shooting guard into a point guard in Kendrick Nunn and Gabe Vincent. Nunn worked most if the 1st yr because Butler was primarily the point. And Nunn was a better ball handler and passer than Vincent.

Heat needs a player with inherited point guard skills IMO

Marcus Sasser would be a great pick up. The kid can flat out score and that's what this team desperately needs is more pure scorers. As an older prospect he also fits the profile of someone who should be able to step in right away and contribute.

I will do some scouting on him when I have a moment.

I really like this kid. Did some scouting on him, and like his potential. IMO likely will return to Virginia once he gets feedback from scouts and NBA coaches. Kid has a very high IQ, very athletic. The knock will be he doesn't look for his shot, hard to say what he can and can't do as a scorer. However not afraid to take the clutch shot, likely better defender end passer than any of the PG in this draft. Basically the point guard version of Bam.

A high IQ PG with high assists and creative vision that can defend and hit the three is what we are looking for in this current roster incarnation. Also a high scoring power forward that can defend and hit the three, brehz

We will take the best player available.

This year the Heat can not fail buying a second round pick.

Maybe we better lose and get a higher pick

Not sure what Keyontae Johnson health issue is or was, but he is a tremendously talented prospect. Taking a deep dive in his tapes

Can't find anything on what was the cause of Keyontae mayocarditis. It was reported as acute not chronic ailment. I assuming it will be only open to teams when he interviews with a team. It will be interesting to follow.

Probably COVID related, twix. Lots of folks suffering from that amongst other things. Pretty common.
