The draft is finally here, y'all, and there's been a lot of noise. I want to do like a normal draft episode where we go position by position and guards and wings and bigs, but let's just address this right off top because it looks like Jake Fisher of Yahoo Sports is reporting that the Miami Heat could target the Memphis Grizzlies draft pick tomorrow and a move to secure the number nine spot. Miami is viewed as a possible move-up team. Let's dissect this just for a quick minute. I haven't heard anything about them moving up that I consider to be concrete, but what the hell do I know? Adele, I'll go to you first, since this is your maiden voyage on the program. If there's one player in this draft that you move up from 15 to nine, who is that player? Tell us about them. Yeah, absolutely. Thanks for having me. I'm a static to be here on five on the floor with you guys and you can find my work over at Hoops Profile on YouTube where I've gone through over 60 prospects in this draft. For me, if I was going to move up, it's going to be for the Miami Heat, it's going to be Devin Carter. Devin Carter is heat culture, son of AC, and he has been wowing people in workouts. If you look at the tape, he's a 6-2 guard with a 7-1 wingspan. I mean, he is a legit terror on the defensive end, and he rebounds at about eight rebounds per game, so he's also going to get in there on the glass, and he can score the ball. He is just relentless in the lane at attacking the paint and multitude of ways on the break on the P&R, even getting on the block and posting up at that 6-2 size. Now I have some questions in regards to that translating at the NBA level due to his size and the athleticism of the players throughout the entire league. You got to ask yourself, can a 6-2 guard consistently play bully ball and make it work at the NBA level? He's definitely been a name. I think he is the consensus favorite player of Heat fans. If they can move up, I think that's all the guy that we target. We wish he falls to 15. I think I speak for most Heat fans there, Devin Carter is that guy. Let's start with the guards, though. Brady, who are your favorite guards that may pick in the Heat's range? Well, Devin Carter, to his point, is on the top of that list, as you said, for a lot of people. I just want to say, this draft is so weird with everything being all over the place and guys dropping and all this stuff, that if you were to jump from 15 to 9, it means that you know that the guy is not going to be there. He is absolutely not going to make the late lottery. There's some guys, Ron Holland, for example, who was a top pick that could somehow fall to 15. You are not trading up to 9 for Ron Holland, I don't believe. You're not doing that in that instance. The only guy you're doing that for, to your point, is Devin Carter. It's a guy that obviously there is some intrigue level for obvious reasons, for the reasons you just went through. There's some other guys, it'll be interesting because there's some guys like Jared McCain that just has the pure shooting ability. It's just getting the guard in the building that is just an absolute knockdown shooter that has probably the cleanest form in the draft in terms of just purity. He knows a system, he knows space, he knows how to create for himself and he doesn't need the ball in his hands. He played in a system where it was a lot of off the catch stuff that I just think that part of it matters. It's in terms of, as we talk about all the time, Miami, when they're drafting a guy, they don't want these guys that are all over the place. Not saying they wouldn't take a rob-dilling hand because I think that's a possibility in this draft category, in the guard category. But the reasons, when these guys are all over the place, they want a guy that they could tell we want you to do this. We want you to play this exact role, we want to box you in a way, not to limit you, but to maximize your strengths. We want to put you in this position and Jared McCain, out of a lot of the guards, has the ability to be put in that box where they maximize that exactly. There's some other guys. Like I say, a Collier, we've talked about a lot. I push back a little bit just because if they're going to get a smaller guard, I don't know if it's going to be a guy that has limitations shooting-wise or if it's like a guy that does a lot of his damage offensively with playing bullyball. If you're a little bit shorter and you're playing bullyball in college and that's how you're doing a lot of your damage getting to the rim. If you don't know how that's going to translate, I don't know if that's a 15th overall pick for this type of team. I just don't know if that's going to translate right away. The guard position, we said this kind of before, the guard position is the one that is probably the slimmest. In terms of there's limited options, I feel like in their range that it feels like there's certain guys that ideally could fall, but most of them you're reaching for. It feels like a little bit of a reach for a lot of these guys. I think that the consensus that we'd all agree with with the guards is Devin Carter, updilling him falling. I think if you're just saying we don't want to, we're scared of it being maxi2.0, we're going to take a guy and just bet on the fact that he's super talented, creation-wise, and hopefully he could just be a bucket, then there you go. But I do think, I'll just say if in terms of these three positions, I see them take you a guard the least among with this 15th pick. Wow. That's interesting. Alex and I just did an episode with the he-beek guys, and we actually mocked draft, collier, Isaiah Collier. However, you say his name to the Miami Heat, but that's just the way that mock draft shook out. It seemed like all the best players available at that position were all guards, and that's what kind of influenced that pick. Alex, is there any other guards that you're interested in? I mean, I know there's been buzz that Tyler Colick had a really good workout. He's a guard from Marquette had a good workout in Miami. Any other guards before we swiftly move to wings, because it seems like guards are probably, and now watch it be a guard we don't mention, right? But are there any other guys that really you think are viable at 15? I do. No, it's not like this whole time, I felt like I've been saying like it's not necessarily where I would go position-wise, but we all know they're going to go best player available. And there is, to be fair, like some interesting players there, and I completely understand what Brady's talking about as far as, and I agree, by the way, as far as like, oh, a lot of these guard prospects, it's a question whether or not they would be in the immediate rotation next year, because of their current guard situation. And even saying it's in question is probably being generous. The odds are they're probably not going to be in the rotation. To me, that doesn't dissuade me from taking a guard at 15, but it was never my lean. However, I agree with you guys, I think we all love Devin Carter here. I love his game, outside of Justice Fit for the Heat, but his Fit for the Heat is pretty damn good. The guy is just a two-way ballplayer, like that is the most general way you can describe his game. It's like he can do stuff on both ends of Florida at a really high level, and I think there's even upside still with his shooting after having such a nice shooting here in college, I think he could do more. So many of those were deep three. So he's really interesting. Don't know if he's going to be available at 15, and the Heat trading up for nine would be really, I think that would be kind of a plot twist for guys like us covering the team. It doesn't seem like something they would do. But outside of him, I think, of course, Dillingham is really interesting. That's the guy who I picked for the Heat in that Heatbeat mock draft, and not necessarily because I think he's the best fit, or I think he's not even my type of player. I'm not a huge fan of his game, but I do think what he's good at, he's really good at, and it's such an extreme that I just wanted to have fun with it. It's like the Heat, everybody wants offense, but at what cost? Because it's like he's so small at 6'1", 160, or somewhere around there, 165. It's just so good as a score, it can create his own shot and separation in so many different ways. Can really shoot the ball, it's just a slithery player inside the paint. Not perfect by any means, it's why he's available at 15, and I know people always don't lose another Kentucky guard. That's not really why. I don't think that's why the Heat would take him. It's just like he's a really good player at what he does, and maybe they can mold him. I think Carlton Carington as a creator, he looks like he's going to be a pretty good player. I don't know if Topech is going to be available at 15. That would obviously be interesting. We've talked about that in the past as somebody who was, him and Dillingham were forward in mock drafts as top 10 guys. Topech was even higher in some mock drafts. Those would be the guys that immediately stand out to me from the guards outside of the guys you mentioned already with Collier, McCain, who are interesting as well. I think it's a decent class of guards that might be available in the Heat's range. I just wouldn't bet that they would take most of these guys outside of Devin Carter. I'm with you for the most part. I think there may be some best player available stuff that they may have a guy ranked so high on their board that they still go with them. It seems like that would be a crazy reach. You never know if they hone in on a guy. They will reach for a player, but I think that they could probably, excuse me, maneuver and get trade down and still get a guy like that. Let's transition to the bigs now. A lot of people in mock drafts that I saw today had Zach Edie going to Miami at 15. I'm not feeling that pick. I do not think that that is the way Miami would go also. Who are your favorite bigs? Just to touch on Zach Edie for a minute because I've been seeing that in multiple mock drafts as well. Zach Edie is a player from a bygone era. He doesn't leave the paint defensively, rarely goes above the free throw line, so you're going to be playing drop every possession or zone. It makes your team very predictable and very easy to game plan for. Zach Edie, to me, is going to be one of those guys that I just don't see having the fit into the modern NBA game. Not only that, there's several instances where a 6-1 Tyler Colick is scoring over him in the paint directly. I have my reservations about his shot blocking capabilities at the next level as well, and his ability to not only switch out, but also to be able to cover enough ground to be the weak side shot blocker you need him to be. He's just not quick enough. Testing can tell you a lot, but it doesn't trump game film. The game film tells you something different than the combine testing numbers on his agility. One of my favorite guys in this entire draft is a big for Miami would be Eve Mecie. Eve Mecie is really bouncy. He's athletic. He's got switchability, super quick feet. He's only been playing basketball for three years, and what he was able to do at Baylor from the time he was early freshman to the end of the year, completely different player, because he has switchability on not only like hedges, hard hedges, and traps on P&Rs, but he can legit switch out on the wings and guards, and he can give you a tough contest. He's not going to foul out there. He's going to be able to block shots for you on the back end. He's a lob threat. Can Miami picture somebody outside of BAM actually being a lob threat? When's the last time that's occurred? He's going to give you that. He can actually handle the ball really well for his size. He's got some nice moves off the dribble, but he's not going to give you anything back to the basket game. He needs to develop a jump hook, but he also rebounds really well, and he's very competitive. If you like he culture, he's that type of guy. Another big that I like for the Miami Heat in this draft at our range is Doron Holmes. Doron Holmes, because of his shooting ability and his ability to play better in space than most people think, he'll rebound for you on the defensive end, but that is his biggest area of opportunity that I've been watching him lately, is his strength download or rebound on the defensive end, but he will block shots for you. He has an uncanny ability to defend without fouling. He has one of the lowest foul rates for a guy that blocks that many shots in the entire NCAA. Now, he had a very light schedule coming from Dayton, and he did have some struggles against higher competition as they went on, but he has that intriguing skill set where he can be a role guy, and he can hit from deep. He has a really improved three-point shot throughout his career, and he's an older guy that can contribute right away for the Miami Heat. One last guy that's probably lower on people's radar than people think, and that's Allrich Chomchi. Allrich Chomchi has some really quick feet. He's 18 years old from Africa, played in NBA Africa, and at the Combine, he was absolutely dominating Adam Bonaire from the jump. He's blocking shots, blocking dunks, getting into lane, drawing fouls. He's also a switchable kid, legit-length, 6'11", 7'1" wingspin, excellent player that I think a lot of people are underselling how good he is in terms of bigs. That's an interesting name, I think, to keep an eye on for the second round, a player that has been connected to Miami, worked out for Miami, was Khalil Ware, Brady. Your thoughts on him as a prospect, and then just other bigs that you may like, guys that can play the four. We can get kind of loose here with positions, because that gets a little ridiculous. Any other guys that you've looked at, and then your thoughts on Khalil Ware who did work out for Miami? Yeah, I think it's also important that Khalil Ware worked out with them, just because it's one downfall, is the motor. It's all of that stuff that I think will work out matters, like that could be the defining factor, and a lot of this, look, he's defensively, like he is a lengthy drop defender. He can mess up shots in the lane, he can deter shots around the rim, he can be a shot blocker if willing to do it, if put in the right system, and offensively there's potential. He has the ability to kind of stretch the floor a little bit. I keep saying that even if they take a guy like Deraun Holmes or Khalil Ware, at least at the beginning they're going to box the guy in a little bit with these bigs, and they're going to play that same style they always do, where it's like screen dive, dunk or spot, re-screen. Just keep playing, they're just going to play this triangle offense of their own. But I do think he has a little bit of a post game, he has a little decent touch down there, like he can shoot over the top of guys, like there's definitely something to look at there with Mise, the thing that, as you were mentioning with the defense, the thing that sticks out to me is like, as you were talking about it, the one defining factor is like he legit has defensive versatility, and that's what intrigues me, like he could play in zone like as he has in college, but he could play in drop because he's lengthy and could block shots, but he can legit guard down, like he could switch all around the floor, and I think that matters. I think that's, if they're going to play a big, it's going to be a big like that, it's going to be a big that is athletic on the roll and can switch around and play in a bunch of different defensive coverages, and I'll say this, you mentioned, you could talk about some fours, and I could not tell you for this whole time, which if he is a winger, a big, but Tyler Smith is the guy I keep coming back to, and I think Holmes is like 6'10, and Tyler Smith is like 6'11, so I'll allow it. He's like a, he's just a really upside, he's an upside pick, he's just super talented. He has the athleticism, he has the rolling ability, he has the versatility offensively where they can play him and hand off into a roll and play into a system like that, but he can also stretch the floor, like he has that lefty jumper that I think everybody watches and like an imagines Chris Bosh, like that's what everybody sees where they watch him shoot the ball, but I do think there's versatility there, and now what everybody talks about with him is the defensive stuff, what he will be, because there may be some problems defensively, you know, a step too slow, awareness, this or that, but I like athleticism and worry about the like working you into defensive system later, like if he has a 6'11 ability to be a weak side defender a couple years from now and be able to block shots, like I'll bank on that, and it's just the fact he has offensive upside that I talked about, like I do think there's ability to kind of hit that elbow jumper, work that mid range shoot over the top, and like it's he's just a really good athlete, he's a really good athlete that can run the floor and play above the rim, so I just think in terms like I keep saying like I, Miami doesn't care about your big boards or like where guys are ranked in mock drafts, like they're going to take whoever they want to take a 15, so if they were to reach for somebody, Tyler Smith's kind of in ranked kind of in load, I've seen him all over the place but lower 20s at times, mid to late 20s, I think they could reach for a guy like that, that's just my take on it, so I'm really intrigued by Tyler Smith. Alex, probability that he take a big in the draft, what are your thoughts there, these guys have kind of gone over all the options, I guess we didn't touch on Kyle Filopowski if you want to jump on that one, but otherwise just your thoughts on them taking a big in this draft because I think that that's a controversial subject because a lot of people are talking about can bam play alongside another big and who stretches the floor, but they need to size up, so there's been a lot of chatter that way, your thoughts on them taking a big in this draft. I'm honestly like I can go either way on it, I think like I agree that they need more size, but like we talked about this before, it's you're taking somebody at 15, right, it's like you're, are you going to get the most out of them, right, are you going to play them outside of a role that Brady just described to a T, right, like are you basically going to put them in a box, and I feel like a lot of times that's what they do, they kind of play it safe in that way, and like guys talk about, you know, coming in and talking about doing all these things a lot of times like shooting or you know they can make plays with the ball and then when they're actually out in the court, you don't really see that stuff, and I understand why they do it, and I understand why a lot of times you'll see zone for those bigs, or you'll see them, you know, blitzing or doing some sort of, you know, you know, junking it up defensively, right, I think a lot of these guys fit, but is that the guy that you would take at 15, I don't know, now, all that being said, I'm open to it, like if they were to draft a Mises who sounds like, you know, their type of player, a club where they're on homes, I would not mind any of those guys, and even Philipowski, even Philip of how I feel about this draft, it's like, nobody's perfect, right, like everybody has their different strengths and weaknesses, weaknesses, and I enjoy like, you know, hearing people talk about the differences and watching all these guys, you know, like, different strengths play out on the floor, it's cool to see that and try to project where everybody's gonna go, I think like, if you wanna go, if you're betting on this pick to be more than just a guy who plays 15 minutes behind Bam and play at some point next to him, you gotta go for somebody who can shoot a little bit more, and I believe Philipowski is the one that had the highest volume of three point shooting, like among these bigs, as far as like, you know, three point attempts per game and all of that, so he's a Duke guy, you know, the heat out there, their history with Duke guys, and I think it would piss a lot of people off, so it feels like it checks a lot of boxes there, right, it's like a typical sort of heat pick, not saying that's where I would go, but again, it's, to me, it's kind of similar to what I was saying with the guard pool, it's like, there's a lot of decent players here who I wouldn't mind if they took, I'm just kind of neutral on them, 'cause it's like, a lot of these guys are, they're pretty good, man, like, just none of them like overwhelmed me, it's like, okay, this is the guy, and then the guy that we all, like, we're in agreement on, like, Devin Carter's like, okay, he's probably not gonna be there, so I'm not, like, I don't, I would go with a front court piece, if I'm the heat, if I had to pick one position, but I don't know if any of these bigs are gonna project to be the guy that many heat fans want it to be, not saying they can't, but I'm just not sold in that way for these guys to be like, okay, this is the front court partner next to Bam, more than I am with, like, a yo-vitch, like, I'm more convinced on yo-vitch being that guy much more than any of these guys. 100% agree, that's where I'm at, it's like, give it to Nico at that point, and maybe you do need the depth, and so that'll be what comes into it next. I think the biggest position group for the heat is definitely wings, we're gonna get into them next, before we do, I didn't shout out off the floor at the beginning of this episode, that's crazy, you gotta come to our Discord, sign up, 299 a month on your desktop, 399 on an Apple device, this is where you could talk heat 24/7, we have draft channel, the main thing, heat chat, where we're always chatting all things about heat, the host updates, we're eating myself, Brady, Alex are all providing info, stats, analysis, we have fantasy channels, you gotta go there, 299 a month off the floor on Discord, it is in the, the link is in the description of this episode, so check that out.

Alright the wings, so I preface this conversation by saying that the heat are in danger of losing wings, Kayla Martin is pretty much gone, Hey Wood Highsmith, hopefully he'll be back, but it's not a guarantee by any stretch, and if you lose two guys like that Adele, that really, you need to replenish switchable, versatile defenders, point of attack defense, there's all kinds of angles here, and you're likely gonna get that from some, hopefully from from similar type position group players like the wings in this draft, I don't know if a guy checks all those boxes, your favorite wings for Miami at 15, yeah, now you make a great point, you're gonna need to replace that switchability, the defense and rebounding and wings really do a lot in Miami system, and one of the things that you would like to add with that is three point shooting, and Tristan De Silva actually checks all of those boxes, he is six, eight, six, nine guy can handle, he can drive, he can facilitate, he's actually an excellent passer, he can play defense on multiples positions one through four, and he can also shoot the ball, he shot it over 41% in college, so he can really shoot the rock, and he's a team guy, he's not a guy that needs to ball all the time, but he can handle and create and pick and roll situations, he's really a do it all guy on the wing, a guy like Ronald Holland, if he fell, he'd be a perfect fit for the Miami Heat, he doesn't have the quite the three point shooting chops, he actually struggles, his form isn't really a repeatable motion, he gets off balance, and that's kind of where he falls into trouble with his jump shot, but man, is he a terror in the open court, he's a terror getting down a hill on pick and rolls, he can back cut you, he can finish in the open court, and he's a point of attack defender, he plays passing lanes as well, and he's just a really, really high upside kid, it's only 18 years old, and by undrafted, he'll still be 18, he'll be like 19 year old, 19 years old come summer league, so he's got so much upside if he fell, obviously trading up to number nine, if you could get Dalton connect, like if he fell that far, that would be a guy you grab, super athletic, bouncy, can flat out shoot the cover off the ball, but there's a lot of second round guys, I think can feel that roll, so if you're looking at like a Jalen bridges, for example, he played at Baylor, he shot 41% every year in college, he was at West Virginia, transferred into Baylor, both places shot over 41%, and on volume, three, four times a game, he was hitting threes, so he's another guy, long switchable athletes, six, seven, 210 pounds, 220 pounds, long wingspan, he just doesn't have the explosion, Harrison Ingram's another guy, long switchable defender in the second round, from North Carolina, six, six in the mold of like a PJ Tucker, he shot it at 41% from three, switchable defender and he's got that Heat culture, he's got that dog in him, he wants all the smoke, Harrison Ingram. Brady, your favorite wings, Tristan De Silva is the guy, I think we all Heat fans collectively have rallied around two guys, Devin Carter and Tristan De Silva, that's at least what it appears to be on social media, maybe that's where I'm getting my pulse check or off the floor to our discord. I know I already shouted that out. Any of these other guys, Johnny Furffi, Desee, Jacobi Walker or Walter, Kishan George, any of these guys, you think are viable options or these all trade down candidates? I mean, the fact that we haven't talked about them a lot means that they're getting picked with the 15 pick tomorrow. But I will say there, I feel like there's been a little bit more pushback on the Heat taking Tristan De Silva actually, just because of the fact I just think a lot of people want the upside pick. And that's the one downfall with it. It's like, you know what you're getting with Tristan De Silva, but you also like know what you're getting with Tristan De Silva. So I think like they're worried about like what he's going to end up being, but me personally, I would like, I like the pick like when you get a guy that is so much taller than probably a lot of his defenders will be because when you're an off ball shooter, a lot of times you get tagged with with kind of the weaker defender that's going to help off, he's going to shoot over the top of them. It's literally Miami system. It's a perfect addition to their motion offense. And the fact that you could shoot over the top, the passing is kind of what stands out is once again, Miami's motion offense with kind of putting them in different spots and be able to make quick reads and pocket passes and all the statues that they put them in. And he's six foot nine, like he could switch around a little bit. He's not somebody that has to be boxed in defensively and be hidden like, no, they could move him around a little bit. So I do like that pick just because you know what you're going to get. There's a little bit of a higher floor. But I do think, so I'll say this because I keep saying I think they go wing at 15 and get the big in the second round because there are some bigs that I think a lot of us like. And I keep saying I don't think the drop off is as crazy. I don't think it's a big drop off with the bigs compared to the 15 range to like where they are around 43. But if they do take a big at 15 to a del's point, there are a lot of wings in that second round. He was mentioned like another one was was Kashaw Johnson, like another one that's just like a really solid wing that could be added in that bowl that could stretch the floor. Like he had a weird season like Harrison anger where he randomly just shot 40% from threes for his last season. So they could develop that stuff. Another guy, the other guy that I'll add in is Tyson, which would be is a heat guy. I mean he's a heat guy. And the fact I think it would be a little bit of a reach. But like I said before, I don't think that matters. I don't think they care. So he like he's a guy that like when we were talking about Caleb leaving and replacing Caleb Martin, he's the guy you'd replace Caleb Martin with like he's very he's a similar player like he has a little bit of a funky jumper, but he can knock it down like he has that ability to kind of shoot kind of off the catch defensively gets after it. Just you just need those type of wigs and then the last guy that he mentioned, I just want to mention again is Ron Holland. I mean, he's the other option like if they when we're talking about them trading up to nine and who they be looking at, it's not just Devin Carter, it's also Ron Holland. Like this is a guy that was kind of top of his class and is we're talking about possibly you getting outside the lottery at 15. Like we could sit here and dissect this game and say, well, he needs to have a consistent shot. He needs to work on this to work on that. Get the talent in the building. Like if you have a guy that that's that talented, just get him in the building. And if you were having a guys like your wings like Caleb Martin leave, how about you get another wing that's athletic that is defensive minded that has the athleticism offensively you could put in similar spots that can handle that could do all that. If Ron Holland is sitting there, I don't know if we're sitting here talking reach anymore. I think this is a scenario where you have to just draft talent. I compared it Greg earlier to Cam Whitmore last year, where it's like, yeah, let's just say Ron Holland and De Silva are sitting there. It's kind of Whitmore and high. Like it's kind of a similar scenario where you're talking about high floor versus the ultra talented guy. And you know, it paid off with the way Miami went last year. But I just wonder this year, I don't I think this is a different scenario than Whitmore. That's all I'm saying. Like this doesn't feel like that where it's a drop. And then they still take the other guy. And it's like, no, I think this guy, if he drops for this reason, you work on the shooting later, you get the talent in the building, you let him run wild in this system because he'd play like, put him in the skips, bring him in for Spo and he'll play the top of that press and he'll find ways to be effective. Like just just bring the talent in. So I do like the idea of if Ron Holland's sitting there 15, I don't know how you pass up on it. Now, he's probably the most athletic player in the draft to Alex. The other wing that was recent recently worked out by Miami was Terrence Shannon Jr, who had some legal stuff that is now behind him. It appears any thoughts on him and then other wings throughout the entire draft that maybe we didn't touch on yet that you want to back clean up on and mention. Now, as far as Terrence Shannon Jr, like it seems like somebody that the heat would take in the second round with that 43rd pick if he was there. I think kind of like what Brady was talking about, like adding athletes into the fold would be nice. People always point out the needs with the heat as far as the three-point shooting and size. I think athleticism is kind of right there as a close third. I think he addresses that. If I remember correctly, he's a pretty good defensive playmaker. I agree with you guys when it comes to the wings. I think De Silva is the very obvious. He can help right away guy. You guys mentioned kind of a lower ceiling who can do a lot for you right away. I think there's questions as far as will he be able to guard guards at a consistent level as far as maybe the better guards, not necessarily just like guards in general. If he's asked to switch and I'll start guard, I don't think it's a huge concern. He's not a super athletic guy. There's some limited upside as far as him being an advantage creator and more just being a connector, which I think is fine. I think you can take a connector at this pick if you think it's somebody who can contribute right away. That's kind of what the bet would be for De Silva. I would be a little bit upset as a heat friend. I'm drafting this play right away guy. He ends up not playing right away. If you're just going to get somebody to have them in the mix but not be in the rotation. I think a guy like Ron Holland makes sense even though I do think he could be in the rotation especially with what you guys mentioned before with one of Caleb or maybe both with Caleb and Haywood leaving for greener pastures and just more green. I think a guy like Ron Holland could jump in there but that's one where you've got to look past the shooting concerns with him where it's just like you're betting on the athleticism, you're betting on the defense to polish up in the league and that he can get to the rim at will. It would be a fun gamble. It feels kind of like the Isaiah Collier stuff except where they were both big time recruits coming out of high school except Holland obviously has more size. I think I'm more interested in him as far as his upside. I think he has somebody who could be a higher upside guy in the league than Collier. I would be pleased if they took him just because it's a different type of pick. De Silva, I think he could help right away. I think that would be a nice pick. Yeah, Casha Johnson, man as far as a second round flyer, that would be really exciting because it feels like he could help right away as a wing pretty good size and an explosive athlete. I think he checks off some boxes as well. I don't know if he counts as a wing and I might be pronouncing his name wrong so forgive me but Ballet Larson, is that how do you say his name? Good enough for me. He's an interesting name too, not necessarily one that's been connected to the heat a lot or anything but skill wise, I think he's got some stuff there, somebody who can provide something for the heat with the shooting and just general feel for the game. Those are just kind of some names I wanted to throw out there that stood out to me. Another name that I didn't mention during the guard segment that we should mention as a second round player to watch is Baylor Shireman guard out of Creighton. They scouted him a ton. I know that that's a player that they could target in the second round. I think everyone should keep tabs on that, similar to the Max Drew Stunk and Robinson's kind of keep tabs on that kind of guy. You never know how they find their way to Miami and that would be a guy to watch. Baylor Shireman Creighton senior will see if that happens. It doesn't look like he'll make it all the way to 43 though. Adele, final thoughts on the NBA draft and anybody else we didn't mention that you think we should on this crash course 2024 NBA draft five on the floor? Yeah, absolutely. My thoughts, I think it's actually going to be the Wild West man. I think this is going to be one of those drafts where it's going to be completely unexpected what happens top to bottom. I think there's going to be people reaching for those international guys like Nicola Dersich. He's a guy if he's there at 43, you've got to take him. He's just got that much upside. Nicola Dersich is a knockdown three point shooter at six, eight. He's athletic on the break. He's got really good court vision but he gets a little out of control with his passes like he'll make behind the back passes out of nowhere. Sometimes they hit. Sometimes they don't have to clean that up and he's an athletic defensive liability. But his offensive upside super high. I could see somebody reaching for him in the first round, but he's projected to go in the second. Jim and Pecom Deett from France, Pecom's an 18 year old guard that can really fly fast, can finish in the open court. Super nice touch on his three point shot. Needs to get a little bit of work on his defense, but he's got the chops to do it. But again, he's only 18 years old. So those are some young guys that could really surprise people and go a lot higher than they think. And one last thing on Tyler Colick. Tyler Colick is to me right there with Nicole Atopich as the best actual point guard vision in the entire draft. Like he is a PNR wizard. So if for whatever reason Miami does take a guard and they take Tyler Colick higher than you think, it's not a bad, it's not like an, oh my God, where did this come from pick? The guy will legitimately make your fast break better, your half court offense better. And he shot it at 41%. He has an elongated motion. So he doesn't really like kill you and pull up threes, pull up jumpers, but off the ball, he can knock it down at a 40% clip. So that's a name to watch the people don't realize how good that kid actually is. And he killed his workout in Miami. So we shall see who comes to 15. There's a lot of guys we probably named as many as we could, but we'll inevitably miss the one name that goes at 15, which will be funny, Johnny Murphy, exactly, right? Or we spent like two seconds just mentioning him that that's, we haven't had many of those. Jaime, we talked some about but there, I think Tyler hero, we kind of skipped over that year and didn't talk much about him as a, as a real option. And then all of a sudden, look what he turned into. You never know with this team, they draft well, this should be an interesting one. Thank you to Brady, Alex, Adele, where can they find you one more time?
