The Heat were blessed to receive the 10th pick of the 2015 NBA Draft. Now it's time for them to step up to the plate and pick the right guy.
On June 25, 2015, the Heat will have a chance to add a gem to their roster that will fuel a possible post-season run next year (if we get that far) and could persuade free agents like Dwyane Wade to stick around. The Heat have many options, but here are a few that catch the eye:
Guards
Devin Booker: A promising young guard from Kentucky, Booker is one of the best (if not, THE) shooters available. Booker's problem, however, isn't much of a "3-and-D wing" guy, and that's what the Heat is looking for.
Mario Hezonja: Hezonja (who played for FC Barcelona in the Euroleague) has a lot of potential, is a good shooter and is a great athlete. But he might not be very dependable, not to mention could already be picked by the time the Heat is up.
Forwards
Stanley Johnson: The 6'7 forward from Arizona could serve as a nice replacement for a possibly departing Luol Deng, but won't really affect the shooting. He plays better aggressively under the rim.
Sam Dekker: Dekker was a key part to Wisconsin's run to the championship. The 6'9 playmaker does have a rather inconsistent jumper, but can do great things with the ball.
Big Men
Frank Kaminsky: Kaminsky, without a doubt, is one of the most skilled players in this draft. His leadership was another key part in Wisconsin's championship run.With a powerful shot and good dribbling skills, he has the skill set of a guard, but serves as a big man. But Kaminsky might not be available by the tenth pick.
Myles Turner: Turner serves as a trustworthy rim protected. He is one of the best shot blockers in the league. He also has a solid mid range jumper. But drafting Turner could be risky, as he still needs a few years to reach his max potential, and the Heat need results now.
So no matter what happens in that draft room, the Heat will walk out of the draft big winners!
