In case you missed it…From the Valley to South Beach: Tyler Johnson strikes fire with Miami Heat (Featuring audio story)

Making the jump from collegiate sports to professional sports is a dream for thousands of athletes, but as many come to find out, it is not so easy to do. According to the NCAA website, in 2015 there were 18,697 male basketball players and only 46 were drafted to the NBA.

Tyler Johnson has become one of the most intriguing players in the NBA. As an undrafted player, night in and night out Johnson had to prove to the league that he was ready for the next level. After some time in the D-League (NBA Developmental League), he was called up by the Miami Heat and has not looked back since.
