After losing the Finals, the Heat signed six! Instant reinforcement!
Every year in the draft, there are always three teams that are particularly active, and the active ones are not normal.
The first team is the team with the top pick,
Having a top pick means that they have the greatest exposure and discussion in this draft. Who is the winner? How talented is it? It's all a question that fans talk about.
The second is the Lakers, a big player,
According to incomplete statistics, the rookies selected by the Lakers every summer will usher in a lot of exposure and news reports, and some fans even jokingly call the rookies selected by the Lakers the "real champions".
The third is the leak picker Heat.
Every June, which tends to be the time when Heat management is most active, other teams are busy with trades, and the Heat are busy picking out undrafted drafts.
Others get superstars to be considered reinforcements, and in the eyes of the Heat management, if they lose the draft, it is already a good reinforcement.
To quote Pat Riley: "Although we haven't chased stars this summer, I'm excited about the current squad. ”
Now, let's see the new people who get Riley excited.
After yesterday's draft, the Heat signed six players at once to improve roster depth.
(1) Jaime Hax Jr. (18th pick in the first round, forward, template Tatum)
Height 204cm, weight 102kg, age 23, played in the PAC-12 league last season, averaging 17.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.
From the basic data, this person is also more in line with the Heat's consistent selection style: 1, older 2, plug and play 3, looks mediocre.
(2) Drew Biederson (Drafted, Guard Swingman)
Height 203cm, weight 83kg, played for the University of Southern California last season, averaging 13.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
A striker with a certain outside projection and organizational ability, and the ability to run and jump is acceptable.
(3) Caleb Daniels (Drafted, Guard)
193cm tall, 95kg weight, played for Villanova University last season, averaging 14.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1 steal per game.
It has some defensive ability, and also has some outside ability, but it is not particularly accurate.
(4) Taylor Funk (Drafted, Forward)
Height 203cm, weight unknown, played for Utah State University last season. A large shooter, but other abilities are weaker except for shooting.
(5) Patrick Gardner (Drafted, Center)
208cm tall, weight unknown, played for Marist Academy last season, played a bit like Jokic in his rookie years, with projection, ability and defense.
(6) Justin Powell (Drafted Loser, Guard)
198cm tall, weight unknown, played for Washington State University last season, playing a bit like Dunroe, advantages and disadvantages are more prominent.
The advantages are good at catching and shooting, and the rest are all disadvantages.
The above six players, except for Hax, who is the 18th pick, the rest of the players are very average in the draft, whether it is physical talent or athleticism, they are slightly weaker, and they are older, and have no potential to tap.
The youngest of the five, Powell, is 21 years old, and the rest of the players are even 23, 24 and 25 years old.
One more thing, this is just the beginning.
According to the Heat's habits, they will go through multiple drafts and screenings, retaining the draft that management believes can adapt to the team's intensity and have some bright spots.
The players who remain at the end will have the opportunity to get a high-paying contract like Dunroe, Martin, Vincent, Strus and other undrafted drafts.
This is Miami Heat, draft heaven. Who still has a dream? Yes, just sign up.
