No more small guards.
Don’t take Acuff.
Take Cam Carr, Tounde Yessefou, Yaxel.
Philon??? Naw. Let’s get real 2way talent man
#1-AJ Dybansta
#2-Darryn Peterson
#3-Cameron Carr
#4-Tounde Yessoufou
#5-Dailyn Swain
Those players are the ones that the Heat should target as potential prospects if they miss the playoffs. The top 2 might be next to impossible to get realistically for obvious reasons 😡, but if they get either option 3, 4 and 5, those players are good pieces with great potential.
Mullins is Mcneely
These idiots better dodge the playoffs lol
We also need to draft for the future and not draft for right now. We keep picking up Rookies in hopes of helping now and then being disappointed for the developing years.
Stay silent, do your secretly.
If NBA Drafted Started Right Now And If I Was The Miami Heat, I Would Definitely Go Draft Tounde Yessoufou Or Thomas Haugh 💯
We need top 10 not 10 to 15 goin into next year and tank
Good Afternoon Nic 👋🙂💯☀️
1. Tonde Yessouffou
2. Cameron Carr
3. Jaron Pierre Jr
I hope Labaron Philon is available at 15th. I like that kid, he's a star nba player prospect and has great potential! He checks off everything – he can flat out score on three levels, defend, has high basketball IQ, he's athletic, and great playmaking, skills. Just watch that kid, he has SGA potential.
The good news is, I will be pretty happy getting any of these guys.
I don't know a single person who watches the all-star games.
Out of these guys, if I had to rank them in terms of who I would want most to least, it would probably be:
1. Tounde Yessoufou (tie)
1. Labaron Philon (tie)
(These would be my top 2 choices out of these guys, but don't know who I'd prefer)
3. Darius Acuff
4. Brayden Burries
5. Braylon Mullins
I'd still rather us lose more and try to get in the lottery, but if we are for sure stuck at pick 15 and these guys were somehow available, I think that's the order of how I'd choose them.
we need a BIG POWER FORWARD WHO CAN DEFEND AND SCORE. TO MATCH UP WITH TEAMS LIKE DENVER AND UTAH
Acuff will be an all-star in 3 years or less. Only people that don't watch him say pass up on him. He is absolutely unbelievably good, playmaking, offensively in every way. His defense is not nearly as bad as what people on Twitter try to say. He's generational on the court every single game
