Now that the NBA Draft Lottery is in the rear view, it’s time to deal with the aftermath and prep for the draft. In today’s edition of Miami Heat Hot Topics, we’ll take a look at All U Can Heat’s staff picks for the 13th draft pick, possible trade scenarios, and who is Bam Adebayo working out with this summer?
