27. Miami Heat – Jaden Hardy, G, G League Ignite
The hope for the Miami Heat is that they’ll be coming off an NBA Championship run while selecting in the NBA Draft. At the very least, a deep playoff run in the Eastern Conference.
Essentially, they’ll be looking for more developmental projects here as they select late in the first round.
Specifically, Jaden Hardy is an interesting developmental prospect that would fit what the Heat is looking for at this point in the draft. He has flashed potential but is also considered an extremely raw prospect. Landing with the Miami Heat could do wonders for his potential.
There are many draft analyzers that believe Hardy, under the right developmental system, could be a really good player down the line.
