Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson and Jaime Jaquez, Jr. predicted to be on the move along with first round pick.
An oddsmaker and an Internet media outlet have both predicted the Miami Heat will trade for Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young on draft night.The first round of the NBA Draft is Wednesday night and begins at 8 p.m.
Young is a more than capable scorer, but his defense is suspect and might be a deterrent to the Heat, who are looking to add a playmaker on offense that can pair well with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Young averages 25.5 points for his career, which began in 2018. He is also a 35.5 percent shooter from the three-point line.
Bleacher Report said the Heat's offense has been relatively "weak during the Butler-Abedayo era" and Young "can life a team's attack all by himself." Young, a five-time All-NBA player, has question marks on defense and might be a tough fit for Miami. However, with the disciplined team-first mentality that coach Erik Spoelstra has implemented, Young might fall into line and play team defense.Scott Salomon joined FanNation on Sports Illustrated in April 2024 covering breaking news and analysis for the Miami Dolphins channel.
