Miami Heat: How Tyler Herro and KZ Okpala fit with current roster and cap space

Heat Twitter might not have been elated about either of the Miami Heat’s picks in Thursday’s draft, but both Tyler Herro and KZ Okpala have skills the Heat need.

The Herro the Heat need?

Herro is a 19-year-old out of the University of Kentucky. He will be joining fellow Wildcat and current Heat player Bam Adebayo, who was drafted last year with the Heat’s 14th pick. Herro will be joining a team that is trying to move out of mediocrity and into a post-Dwyane Wade era, where the Heat are trying to build around a young core.
