For a handful of NBA hopefuls, the 2018 NBA Draft proved fruitful.
60 names and even fewer teams were called by commissioner and deputy commissioner Adam Silver and Mark Tatum respectively, though the Miami Heat weren’t among the bunch.
The Heat instead turn to the upcoming NBA Summer League to appraise potential roster additions. Miami’s squad, which will play in both the Sacramento and Las Vegas tournaments, is headlined by familiar faces Bam Adebayo, Derrick Walton Jr. and Derrick Jones Jr., and accompanied by a collection of undrafted prospects.
Joining Miami’s summer troupe is Yante Maten, a former University of Georgia Bulldog who earned 2017-18 SEC player of the year honors.
