Who The Mock Drafts Are Saying The Miami Heat Should Take With No. 18 Pick
The Miami Heat were close to making history this season being the first ever eight seed to win the NBA Finals. However, their historical run was cut short losing in the NBA Finals to the Denver Nuggets. The Heat, who expect to contend again, can use the draft to address the needs of a backup center or wing.
Last year the Heat drafted Serbian forward Nikola Jovic with the No. 27 pick. He spent most of the season playing in the G League, helping the developmental process. Jovic is expected to play a larger role next season.
Here is a look at some predictions for the Heat with the draft only a few days away:
