2015 NBA Draft: Predicting Every Pick for Miami Heat

The Miami Heat struggled a bit during the 2014-15 season after LeBron James left in free agency last offseason, and finished the year at 37-45. It wasn't as bad as some expected it to be, but it was certainly a big step in the wrong direction after making it to four straight NBA Finals. They hold the No. 10 and No. 40 picks in the 2015 NBA Draft, and will be targeting players who can play immediately.

Round 1, Pick 10 - Devin Booker, Shooting Guard

Kentucky Wildcats guard Devin Booker would be a perfect fit for the Miami Heat, and would help alleviate some pressure from Dwyane Wade assuming he's back in 2015-16. He is the most pure shooter in the draft and will be able to compete immediately. It is likely that he will be available with the 10th pick, and the Heat would be a perfect landing spot for him.

Round 2, Pick 40 - Jordan Mickey, Power Forward

One of the most underrated prospects in the 2015 NBA Draft is LSU power forward Jordan Mickey. He will likely be available when the Miami Heat are on the clock in the second round, and if he is they will likely be very interested in him. During his sophomore seasons with the Tigers last year, Mickey averaged 15.4 points, 9.9 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game and proved that he has NBA potential.
