NBA Mock Draft: LaMelo Ball headlines a class of unknown prospects
23. Miami Heat – Tre Jones, G, Duke
Considering there’s a chance that the Miami Heat can lose Goran Dragic in free agency during the offseason, it would smart of them to try and address that position during the draft. One player that checks a lot of their boxes is Tre Jones. He’s a good enough deep shooter (36 percent from 3) and is a Duke product – and we know how much this organization loves their Blue Devils.
As one of the best development teams in the league, Jones will have a great opportunity to cultivate his skills with the Heat.
24. Utah Jazz – Jaden McDaniels, F, Washington
The Utah Jazz is another team that is expected to select the best player available when it’s their turn to make a pick. One potential fit for them is Jaden McDaniels, a talented freshman that has the potential to be a real contributor in the not-too-distant future. He could learn next to Rudy Gobert and could find a place in the rotation.
