Frank Isola tends to think the Knicks are locked in on him. Even mentioned they had a scout babysit him this past season.

Wasn't sure where to post this but, is anybody going to the Heat draft party? I signed up for it a week ago, but haven't received an email yet. Just wondering if anybody else has done it.

Same boat as you , I signed up and haven't received anything. One of their sales rep did call me but just to sell me tickets.

Why isn't Donovan Mitchell an option? He could very well fall to the 14th spot. Instead y'all got a bunch of scrubs in the poll lmao.

Kid could maybe have a good role in the league if he can play C and hit 3's but his defense is bad. 3 fls on 26 mins a game just says Beasley

Derrick Williams is a better comp Bish. The guy screams D. Will, both even have the same measurements.

I hope we please don't draft this kid. His defense is bad, he has no left hand, gets bodied by larger bigs and has no passing vision.

I've soured on J Collins after digging deep. I think he and Justin Jackson are a pass.

Donavan Mitchell, Zach Collins, and Justin Patton in that order is my hopeful wish list.

I think the Heat should trade the pick. The likelihood the Heat acquire a player that will even be a starter is low. The Heat simply just aren't good drafters. They are excellent at finding undrafted talent, but they are better off trading the pick. Especially if they can use it to acquire either more picks, or to acquire a "chip" for a blockbuster deal down the road.

The Celtics and Warriors for the next couple of years will be the main contenders. Possibly the Cavs as well. Right now is the time for the Heat to continue to build a solid foundation of players that they can use to make them a player away from championship contention. Similar to the way they won in 2006.

I feel like we are going to go with a safe pick and a need. Should take a chance on someone.

Right now, wish list:

- Zach Collins
- Donovan Mitchell
- Luke Kennard
- Harry Giles

Pending a slider like DSJ or something, of course.

There's a lot of guys i'd be 'OK' with, and a few i'd be pretty 'meh' with.

What is very interesting is that if we draft someone that does not fit our needs, it may very well be that we are drafting for someone else.

We will have to hang around after the pick to see what is happening.

Really like that Mitchell kid. My only concern is that he doesn't like to pass the ball.

So Ferguson? Most of the players around our range aren't really safe.
