Every year in the NBA draft, some highly-touted prospect makes a surprising slide out of the top of the draft. Last season, it was Cam Whitmore, who fell to the Houston Rockets at No. 20. The Miami Heat took Justise Winslow with the 10th pick in 2015 when he fell out of his projected range in the top five.
Perhaps the Heat will get another chance to grab a top prospect in the NBA draft later this month. Here are four names that have the potential to slide to Miami at No. 15.
1. Ron Holland, forward, G League Ignite
Ron Holland is one of the better athletes in the draft. Holland can adjust his body in the air to finish at the rim and is a threat to score on the break. He also has good feel for the game, moves well without the ball and is a sneaky good passer.
Defensively, Holland has the potential to be a lockdown defender. He is long, quick and has a non-stop motor, which Miami likes in a player.
Holland needs to work on his jump shot, especially off the catch, and needs to tighten his handle, as he doesn't have many ball-handling moves. If Holland can work on those things, then he has the potential to be one of the better players in the draft. If the Heat were to draft Holland, they would be getting a steal. Holland is also one of the youngest players in the draft.
