Before any work out reports come out......
Who do all y'all think the Heat will take at 15 & 43 vs who do you want them to take?
For me, I think they'll take Devin Carter at 15 and Adem Bona out of UCLA or Kyle Filipowski at 15 and Tyler Kolek at 43.
I want them to take Bub Carrington out of Pitt at 15 and Edey at 43 if he falls that far.
Here is my feeling, I don't know to be honest that is the gods honest truth.
I say this because I can sit here and talk about positions of need, based on current structure and based on what I believe they could end up losing in a trade scenario so it would make sense to go after X, Y, Z.
I don't know where their head is at, how much their planning on overhauling this team, if at all. So it could be basic just get best available that potentially is a position of need.
We could see them pick for somebody else, and trade the FRP for multiple second rounders with the situation of being a 2nd Apron Team, they could trade this FRP for one next year and attach something to sweeten that exchange since they don't own their pick next year but they may need to wait another year before making bigger changes to this teams structure, basically a reset year to find ways to offload some money and get back under the Apron line again.
This team has so many moving parts I couldn't began to understand where their head space is at for this years pick.
As far as what I think it could be: at 15 and 43:
Perhaps 43 is a good 3&D player whose a bit more mature that could be ready perhaps to replace Caleb or Highsmith if Miami decides to move from them. I haven't really researched that far down the draft to give you a name, just kind of know what the Archetype could be. They could also go for a PG too as well to get another player to nurture as a good backup in the second round.
For the 15th Pick they really need a Good Guard I think based just on hunch one of Rozier or Herro will be moved and we need something there than can perhaps be a cheap rookie placeholder. Second to that I think they go for a big man our depth there both in the Center and PF spots is abysmal and should be upgraded. Many names have already been thrown out there already for both of those positions, you can go back multiple pages and see us discussing all those guys.
