The Miami Heat are known for making the most of a player's talent and saving players' careers. Here are four potential free agents the Heat could make their latest reclamation project.

Brandon Boston Jr.

The former five-star recruit Brandon Boston hasn't found his nitch yet since getting drafted in the second round back in 2021. Boston hasn't gotten much playing time in his young career yet. Being on the Los Angeles Clippers as a young player isn't ideal, with players like Kawi Leonard, Paul George, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook on the team.

It's hard for young players to make an impact on a win-now team. Boston is entering free agency but still has that high school pedigree. Boston hasn't played many games (105) in three years. At 6-foot-6 with a 6-foot-11 wingspan, he has great size and length for the position.

His handles are solid but he lacks a quick first step, so he has beat his man off the dribble by using different angles. Defensively, Boston can defend his position but isn't a lockdown defender. If Miami is looking for development, Boston would be an option starting this offseason.
