Practicing for dunk contest??👀 👀

Hi.

What do you think of Kyle Kuzma? Would you trade Kuzma for 15th? Would we need to surrender something else to make that trade? Do you think he would be a fit next to Bam and Butler? I think he is a realistic trrade target.

Biggest memory, I'll have of Herro is how he sold us in the playoffs this yr. Does this mean he gone or what?

No Donovan Mitchell, and Cavs are keeping it close. Max is 5/5 from three. Not current Heat news, but always cool to see Max doing well.

I love my Fuegos. But i think it must be age, where people havent seen Riley be.

His coaching and annual presser is must watch to understand this team. Its 100% top down from Riley not player up like many teams.

He will get whales. But only when is sure. And he coached some of the biggest names in NBA history.

We are blessed as a major sport franchise.

How do we feel about Edey? Just saw a video of him draining threes.

I’ve been a huge advocate of getting freaking height and move Bam to the 4 since the 2020 Final. Everyone is getting huge and Bam can’t be the only guy fighting for boards.

I’m imagining a big ass Edey just dominating the boards and spotting up for threes.

Here are some players I like in the draft after watching a ton of YT and going on draft sites and looking up a lot of info. I’m not trying to start a flaming war, it would be cool to have some open discussion on who people like in the draft that might be a sleeper and have some fun conversation. I’m not tied to my opinions at all and might update with new players I find cool, so without further delay:

Isiah Collier - guard USC 6’ 4’’:

This kid might be a steal in plain sight, was the consensus #1 pick before the season started, he hurt his hand and is under the radar now. He’s got absolutely elite NBA level quickness and body control, can handle the ball pretty well, and is pretty sturdy. He needs more development on his shot since he’s basically shooting flat footed, and he needs tighter handles. He plays so fast that he’s never needed to slow down, but he’s 19. If his mind is in the right place and he’s willing to work hard and is coachable. Then he could end up being an all star level player that might go late 1st.

Carlton Carrington guard - 6’ 5” from Pitt:

Super heady and veteran feel for game but needs to put on a little weight to absorb more contact, super advanced playmaking game, very aware of everything on offense, and great handles and great shooter with smooth shot, also only 18. If he puts on 10 pounds and can absorb more contact then he could be a great player with a long career IMO, kinda like a headier Lou Will with less sauce.

Tristan Da Silva 6’ 10” PF from Colorado:

Is interesting too, kinda like a 6-10 Klay Thompson. 4 year player from Colorado, got better each year. Seems to be able to hold his own ok in defending on the perimeter, he seems to rely on length to contest shots out there. Shot is silky and he can shoot on the move and shoot over defenders, can pass pretty well too. Maybe a little too slow footed at NBA level to play on perimeter but also not sturdy enough to guard players down low like Aaron Gordon.

My sneaky pick is Daron Holmes II 6’ 10” F-PF Dayton:

He’s sturdy as hell, got a 7’ 1” wingspan..people don’t like his game cause he’s juuust a tad bit too small to be as slow footed as he is, and his shot is a little janky, perhaps there are question of competition level he faced too. But he’s got a super advanced offensive game, he reacts to his defender and seems to have a lot counters to everything they throw at him. He seems to be able to score in a lot of ways. His shooting has improved every year. He’s got a very sneaky drive game, seems to understand space and how to make it, he has good handles for his size and is a tough finisher who doesn’t mind contact at all. Great rim protector for his size, willing passer and screener. Just seems kinda tough, and grown man kinda vibe that you want to root for, but idk. When I see his game I think, super janky KD with more muscle. Or small janky Embiid with more mobility.

The more I see of this kid, the more I like, but I’m not a scout or anything.

Tyler Kolek 6’ 3” G Marquette :

Kid is a gamer gamer. He’s like Austin Reeves on three lines of cocaine. He’ll eat your soul and love every second. Wants the smoke 100% of the time. Everything else about this kid is questionable. He can pass very well and has a rainbow shot that seems consistent, seems to always rise to occasions and loves doing it. But he’s only 6’ 3” and 23 years old. Isn’t especially fast or athletically gifted, he relies a lot on a running shot/layup using his left hand that defenses can’t seem to stop. Crafty player for sure.

Defense is a big question mark. This kid is like Dustin Pedroia from the MLB if people remember him. Absolute gamer but nothing about him on paper is crazy exciting. Maybe he’ll end up being like a JJ Redick type player with better passing.

Who are some of your favorites in the draft?

Yall know my answer, player that screams HeatCulture

One thing I forgot to predict was that my son will be in a Cleveland jersey next season 😪

It was clear to me that Yes because of injuries the Heat didn’t have a point Guard or an offensive rebounder. The Heat need a penetrate and kick PG who has some size and rebounds kid was 14 point 12 rebounds and 5 assist. Perfect Late 1st round 2nd round guy. He lives in the paint

What should the Heat do at the 15th pick in the draft? Any player or position we should be targeting or hoping they fall to us.
