ESPN’s Jeremy Woo on the Heat drafting Derik Queen:
“He established himself as the most offensively gifted big in this draft class, giving NBA teams a lot to think about with his ability to handle, pass, and create mismatches, along with his flashes of shooting potential. His motor on the defensive end and on the glass were often questionable, something Queen will have to answer for in the predraft process as teams get to know him. Better effort is within his control, and he can adjust, making him a worthwhile lottery candidate. The Heat have been open to swinging big on talent, and Queen could benefit from landing in Miami, an organization that could get the most out of him.”
Derik Queen 2024-25 Maryland stats:
16.5 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 1.1 BPG, 1.1 SPG, 52.6 FG%
Derik Queen scouting report:
Positives:
– Back-to-the-backet game
– Great handle for his size
– Natural touch = potential shooting
Negatives:
– Size = limited athleticism
– No guarantee in his ability to shoot

Jonathan Givony, ESPN, on the Heat drafting Ben Saraf:
“Saraf went through a rough patch in February and early March, but he is coming off two of his best games of the season for Ulm, rediscovering his jumper and rekindling the playmaking creativity that made him a highly regarded prospect earlier in the season. With Ulm in the home stretch of its regular season, and important games approaching in the German league playoffs, NBA teams will be shifting more attention his way. A team such as Miami, which might want to add a shot creator, could be interested in Saraf’s size, youth, creativity, feel for the game and toughness.”
Ben Saraf 2024-25 Stats (16 GP):
12.8 PPG, 4.6 APG, 2.2 RPG, 41.9 FG%, 22.2 3P%
Ben Saraf scouting report:
Positives:
– Great size for a true point guard
– Knows how to get to his spots
– Solid playmaker in the pick & roll
Negatives:
– Not a consistent 3-point shooter
– Limited athlete

I am new to NBA but don’t Miami need a PG so Herro can play the 2 and have a young prospect and Mitchell rotate in game at the 1?

I dont understand why the Heat wouldnt go after a true PG in a draft with plenty of them
Derrick Queen can’t shoot or play defense… why would we do this? 😂 DannyWolf would be a better fit.
KHAMAN MALUACH makes more sense.
It doesn’t make sense unless the Miami Heat trade Bam or Kelel.
Egor Demin will be a bust, Broome will be in the G League, Derik Queen is mid, Need to see more of Saraf
personally i’m taking harper or queen. bam or queen can play the 3 trust. go big. queen bam ware would be amazing on offense and d.
P
I would we need a bench big any ways
We actually need a backup C. We have Dru Smith & Davion at PG
Fears is the goal, Fears and Queen would be gold, even if we have to trade up. We need to stop chasing whales.
I think that the Heat should definitely go with a PG with the first pick and I like Jase Richardson.
With the second pick I would like to see a backup big: Rasher Fleming if Miami keeps Ware and doesn't include him in a package chasing KD. If they keep Ware; I would like a big that can rebound and provide some interior size like Yaxel Lendeborg.
Gambling Is a trap
who the hell would want to pay ESPN $120 per year? 😂I get what I'm looking for from here and other channels, for free
Put bam at the 3, Queen at the 4 and ware at the 5
A center? lol
I hope Fears falls to us and get a back up big with the later pick
It would be pretty cool to have queen on the court with ware and bam. That line up would insane
I say heat should draft tahaad pettiford he’s a great shot creator and he’s a young point guard that the heat need because we don’t really got a point guard other than Davion Mitchell
I would not draft Derik Quenn… I have no money to pay him…
