The Miami Heat are known for finding talent wherever they look and some of it is ready to contribute right now!

The Miami Heat are a team that excels when it comes to finding talent all over the place. It doesn’t matter where you put them, they can find the players.

That was a huge part of why they were able to do what they did last season. Without the contributions of Tyler Herro, who they got late in the lottery, Duncan Robinson, whom they signed as an undrafted free agent, and Kendrick Nunn, who they got off of the Warriors G-League affiliate at the end of the season before last, they wouldn’t have been able to make a run all the way to the Finals as they did.

Well, they are primed to do it again this season. Also like last season, they have a talented crop of fresh new faces to help them do it.

From all of their typical avenues, they have guys that will come in and be able to contribute right away. There is no undrafted guy in this crop, but there is a late first round pick.

This one was even outside of the lottery by a bit. Then you have a second round pick who might’ve been their first round pick in that draft, had the guy they eventually chose not been around.

Lastly, you have another potential Miami Heat flamethrower that came out of nowhere. He was brought in as camp depth at the beginning of what feels like last week and this week, he has us all enamored with his ability.

In any situation, let’s stop building the anxiety and get into it. Here are three unexpected guys that are ready to contribute right now.
