Michigan center Vlad Goldin was predicted to go late in the second round of this year's NBA Draft. Sadly, he fell out of the second round and was not drafted into the NBA. That will not be the end of Vlad's NBA story. After not hearing his name called and dealing with the disappointment that came with it, Vlad was called by the Miami Heat. He signed a two-way contract with the Heat and will be with the team this summer competing in Summer League games. An NBA two-way contract is designed to develop a young talent. It allows them to play in the NBA G League and also in the NBA. They are limited to 50 total NBA games during the regular season.
