NBA Mock Draft: Miami Heat Grab Backcourt Help
In recent years, the Miami Heat have garnered a reputation for adding difference-makers at the NBA Draft. Especially relative to their draft position.
In 2017 they grabbed All-Star and defensive savant Bam Adebayo at No. 14. One year later they selected offensive standout Tyler Herro at No. 13, and in the last two drafts have added major contributors in Nikola Jokic and Jaime Jaquez at No’s 27 and 18, respectively.
Now, most fans are assuming the team with again grab someone ready to hit the ground running and contribute at a high level.
In a recent mock draft I posted to YouTube, Miami did just that, selecting Devin Carter of Providence, another player who embodies Heat Culture. You can watch the full video below:
A 6-foot-3 combo guard, Carter came on as one of college basketball’s top producers last season. In 33 games, he averaged 19.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, shooting 47% overall and 75% from the line.
Carter has long been a known factor on defense, suffocating both on and off-ball with 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. But his 3-point shooting boosted him to stardom, jumping from 29% on 3.5 attempts lasts season to 38% on 6.8 attempts this year.
In Miami, Carter would immediately provide a punch to the backcourt, with currently only has Herro, Terry Rozier and Josh Richardson.
Perhaps most importantly, Carter would be ready from the get-go, which is important given Miami will be looking to continue to win games.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.
