Heat, seeking another skilled young big man, quietly summons three interesting
prospects

The Heat, looking for another skilled young big man, quietly flew in at least
four interesting draft prospects to team headquarters for private workouts
this week, according to multiple sources.
The Heat summoned Baylor 6-10 power forward Johnathan Motley, Indiana 6-10
center Thomas Bryant, and UCLA 6-10 power forward/center Ike Anigbogu.
As we reported here Wednesday, the Heat also had California 6-10 power
forward Ivan Rabb in for a workout.
Bryant was matched against Anibogu in the workout, and Motley competed
against Rabb.
Aside from Rabb, none of the other three are projected to go as high as the
Heat’s pick at No. 14, Miami’s only selection in the June 22 draft. But it’
s possible the Heat could trade for a second-round pick if it becomes
particularly enamored with a player that’s still available after the first
round.
ESPN’s Chad Ford projects Anigbogu to go between 17 and 35 in the 60-player
draft, Bryant to be plucked between 25 and 50 and Motley to be selected
between 25 and 40.
Motley, pictured above, averaged 17.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and
1.1 blocks as a junior at Baylor last season. He shot 52.1 percent from the
field but just 9 for 33 on threes. At 22, he’s older than many of the draft
prospects.
“He has all the physical tools NBA teams are looking for in a power forward,
with terrific size, athleticism and length,” Ford said on ESPN.com. “His
jumper is the major sticking point for teams -- he shot 27 percent from 3 on
just 33 attempts as a junior. He's in the Nos. 25-40 range.”
Bryant, 19, averaged 12.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks as a sophomore
at Indiana last season, shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 23 for 60 on
threes (38.3 percent).
“Bryant had a bit of a disappointing sophomore season for Indiana,” Ford
said. “On the plus side, he showed off more of his shooting range, hitting
23 3s at a 38 percent clip. That's appealing to scouts. On the downside, his
2-point percentage plummeted, and his below-the-rim post game has scouts
worried that Bryant's game might not fully translate to the NBA. He should go
somewhere between Nos. 25-50 in this year's draft.”
Anigbogu, 18, averaged only 13 minutes per game in his only season at UCLA,
which accounts for his modest averages (4.7 points, 4.0 rebounds). But
Anigbogu, who shot 56.4 percent from the field, also averaged 1.3 blocks in
that limited playing time, which averages to nearly four blocks per game in
39 minutes.
Miami is intrigued by another UCLA player, skilled-shooting power forward
T.J. Leaf, who is projected for the Heat’s range.
“Anigbogu came off the bench for UCLA as a freshman and played limited
minutes, but NBA teams see a ton of raw potential in him, especially as a
rebounder and shot-blocker,” Ford said. “He already has an NBA body and a
great motor; now it's about picking up some offensive skills. Although
another year at UCLA could certainly benefit his development and draft stock,
most teams have him ranked in the Nos. 17-35 range.”
The Heat likely will add at least two developmental big men during its summer
program, either through the draft or after it.
Center Hassan Whiteside is under contract for three more seasons, but backup
center Willie Reed is expected to opt out of a contract that would pay him
$1.8 million next season.
The Heat very much wants to keep free agent power forward James Johnson, and
Johnson wants to stay, but the unknown variable is whether Johnson will
attract an enormous offer beyond what the Heat is willing to pay. Teams can
make offers to other teams’ free agents beginning July 1.
Power forwards Luke Babbitt and Udonis Haslem are also free agents, though
Haslem has indicated a desire to return to the Heat, and president Pat Riley
has said he will be welcomed back.
Power forward Josh McRoberts this week opted in to a contract for $6 million
next season, but the Heat is expected to try to trade him. Miami also has the
option of releasing him and spreading his remaining cap hit over three
seasons, at $2 million per year.
Small forward Justise Winslow, returning from January shoulder surgery, also
can play power forward.
今年的熱火採取非公開試訓 經由各方管道得知 本週熱火至少已試訓四名長人
分別為
Baylor 6-10 power forward,Johnathan Motley 22歲
Indiana 6-10 center,Thomas Bryant 19歲
UCLA 6-10 power forward/center,Ike Anigbogu 18歲
California 6-10 power forward,Ivan Rabb 20歲
除了Rabb 其餘三名可能的預期順位都落在#14之後
Anigbogu被Chad Ford預估在#17~35之間 Bryant是#25~50 Motley則是#25~40
所以猜測熱火有可能會向下交易以換取二輪籤
試訓是採取 Bryant與Anibogu一組 另一組是Motley與Rabb進行對抗
另外熱火也對 T.J. Leaf 有興趣
熱火希望能在夏季補充至少兩名以上有潛力的長人
來因應替補中鋒 Willie Reed 預期的離隊
此外熱火也很希望能留下 James Johnson,而JJ也說他想留下
但最終還是要看7/1開市的自由市場($) 誰也不知道今年行情會怎樣
Babbitt 跟UD 也會成為自由球員,UD還想打,油頭預計也會簽他回來.
賣蘿蔔已執行今年6M的PO,
熱火還在評估,看是要留下還是尋求交易甚或是釋出(分三年攤提)
而Winslow回歸後也可能扛4號
