15. John Collins, PF/C, Wake Forest (Prev. 20)

What Collins does well–mid-range shooting, scoring around the rim, rebounding–are becoming less valuable than the things he doesn’t do well–3-point shooting, defending the pick-and-roll–in today’s NBA. Collins has the potential to improve in those areas and, if the Heat think they can get the most out of him, he could become a versatile big for them. Read the full scouting report on Collins after the Heat worked him out.

16. Luke Kennard, G, Duke (Prev. 17)

This is for my homies worried about Tyler Johnson’s contract. Kennard is a good 3-point shooter and underrated ball handler. He projects as a combo guard at the next level. If Kennard is the best player available, the Heat could take him, look to deal Johnson at the trade deadline, and duck those big third- and fourth-year salaries. Kennard could also be insurance in case the Heat don’t re-sign Dion Waiters.
