As we near the 2019 NBA Draft, we’ll roll out our mock draft of the first round for the Miami Heat and the rest of the NBA.

The long wait is almost over, we’ve nearly made it to draft time. In less than two weeks, on June 20th, we’ll finally get to see how things shake out for the Miami Heat and the rest of the NBA on draft night.

We here at All U Can Heat have prepared our own mock draft for the 2019 NBA Draft, and we’ll roll it out over the following pages.

We’ll start with the 30th selection, and work our way in descending order until we hit pick No. 1, whomever that might end up being.

Picks 30-26

89. The 6’11” Croatian is a talented offensive threat who could step in to provide front line depth if Brook Lopez and Nikola Mirotic depart in free agency this summer. He could be a steal for the Bucks at the end of the first round.. Forward. Milwaukee Bucks. Luka Samanic. 30. player

29. player. 29. Daniel Gafford could be a high-reward pick late in the first round for the Spurs. The 6’11” forward is not a polished shooter, but remarkably agile and physically skilled for his size to go with a 7’2″ wingspan.. Forward. Spurs. Daniel Gafford

Forward. Warriors. Dylan Windler. 28. player. 41. Dylan Windler is a <em>do everything</em> forward. Not that the one that they already have isn’t enough or great in his own right, but he projects as a more offensively lethal Draymond Green type. He led his Belmont team this past season in points per game, rebounds per game, three point percentage and was between 2-4 in most other categories.

Nets. Nicolas Claxton. 27. player. 147. Nicolas Claxton should be a late first-round pick in this draft, but it’s possible the All-SEC Second Teamer could have played his way into the lottery next season. He could be a nice project for the Brooklyn Nets.. Forward

Brandon Clarke. 26. player. 156. Clarke is an explosive athlete. Although his jump shooting abilities and scoring outside of the paint will need work, he should still be able to make an impact with his athleticism and rim running abilities. He would pair well with Collin Sexton off the pick and roll action to make for an impressive 1-2 punch.. Forward. Cavaliers
