Miami Heat: Draft Profile

As much as I hate to say it, the Miami Heat are one of the best ball clubs right now. The complete dominance of LeBron James has been a large help, leading thier team in points rebounds and assists per game. As a team they rank 6th in the league for points per game with 98.9 points per game, 18th in rebounding with 41.8 and 20th in assists averaging 20.1 assists. In my opinion the Heat should be looking to draft either a point guard or a big man. There would also be some reasoning behind drafting a small forward to be the apprentice of LeBron. If I was in the hot seat at the draft and these players were around I would most likely pull the trigger. Darius Miller of Kentucky to be the understudy of LeBron James until he can take over the franchise. Although this is highly unlikely, if they trade up they could have a shot at drafting point guard Dion Waiters who can also take on the role as a shooting guard. Lastly Maquis Teague. They would have to get a little lucky to be able to draft him but it is not too much of a long shot. Teague could come i thier and prove himself in training camp and maybe win the starting job if not play crucial minutes. Much like the Bulls, the Heat are projected to only get one selection. The Waiters pick is a long shot but it could happen. I personally would select Teague over Darius Miller because I think theHeat need him more than Miller. They already have Wade at the shooting guard and I am not too sure that Chalmers is going to cut it if they want to win a title. Teague has the potential to make a smooth transition to the NBA and he is a player that the Heat should take a chance on.
