▪ ESPN lead draft analyst Jonathan Givony: “I had [him] as the 11th player on my big board. This is a slide for him. The Heat needs a ball handler, playmaker in the worst possible way. He’s the best pick-and-roll playmaker in this draft.
“Think of a cross between Austin Reeves and Andrew Nembhard. Great size for a guard. Can play 1, 2 or 3 [point guard, shooting guard, small forward]. Shot maker, brings real toughness, a competitor. This is going to be a a great pick for Miami, who doesn’t traditionally draft international players. This is an awesome pick for the Heat.”
