Slightly unrelated, what's the point of big boards once the draft order has been set? I never really understood why draft scouts do them so late in the process.


Just do mock drafts, that's what matters now.

I'm usually more interested in who are the best players in the draft rather than predicting what some bad franchises will do. That's the value in big boards IMO--it's an individual's (or organization's) listing of top players rather than a prediction as to how things will unfold. If you have your own big board or know a draft analyst whose opinion you value, it provides a means to track potential value in picks made.

A stretch big the Heat should look into as an UDFA

Heat's first confirmed workout

He's worked out for numerous teams. Looks like a potential after draft signing for the G League or two way prospect unless he's killing these workouts and can get into the second round.

If Carter is sitting there he's about as much as a guarantee pick to the Heat you will ever see.

Both these teams looking to move up and select Donovan Clingan. If the Grizzlies offer Smart he'll be reunited with Udoka.

He'll be going to the Spurs with the 8th pick. I assume they go safe at 4 with Castle then go ahead and take the upside play and get Wemby a fellow countryman in Salaun at 8.

Legitimately no one from this draft class deserves to be considered a top 5 pick lol

Kid sounds like he's pretty confident going in the top 5 or maybe just jockeying.

So this is what we are thinking?

PG: Rozier - Carter
SG: Butler - Herro - Richadson
SF: D. Robinson - Jaquez Jr
PF: Jovic
Ce: Adebayo - Love - O. Robinson

Return to Miami Heat
