It’s 2019 and the basketball gods haven’t smiled on the Miami Heat. After a mediocre season that ended without a playoff berth, the Heat’s pain has resulted in the 13th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. Heat legend, Alonzo Mourning looked dapper sitting behind the Heat logo, but it wasn’t enough.
Miami could very well end up with a great player at 13 (Donovan Mitchell was the 13th pick a couple seasons ago), but it makes their return to greatness a little bit longer. It will be interesting to see who the Heat look to pair with their young core on draft night.
