ESPN projects Miami Heat to draft long wing defender with 18th pick

Oh, hey, the NBA draft is less than two weeks away. Hot off an NBA Finals run, the Miami Heat must quickly turn their attention to the June 22 draft and what they will do with the No. 18 pick.

While the Heat won’t have a chance to nab one of the draft’s blockbuster prospects like Victor Wembanyama, Scott Henderson, or Brandon Miller, there are several highly-regarded prospects expected to fall in their range.

The Heat are also in a position where they don’t have to picky based on positional need. That’s because they have several players entering free agency, and could use the draft to fill any of those needs at guard, forward or center.
