'13 All things Heat thread

Yeah, Wade told JJax during the post game interview that he was out there.



2 of Wade's bigger games, opener vs Boston and last night, came after he rode about 20 miles the night before.

Thought you all might enjoy this

[Jace]

Thanks bud.

[Wade2Bosh]

100 plays? whoa, someone had a lot of time on their hands

I'll check it out in a bit.

^16:08 is nice. A lot of the video is him abusing Paul George.

[Jace]

Pipedreamage, but JJ Redick would be awesome here in the post-Ray era. Would take over that role seamlessly.

[Wade2Bosh]

13:38 Love that alley-oop.

Awesome vid.

[Wade County]

Spo doesn't get much respect huh?

Avery Johnson named coach of the month for November...why? We have the best record in the East?

[Jace]

Always been a "surprise record" award.

[Jace]

OT: Wade left Jordan just in time...Jordan "XX8"



If he stayed, they might've asked him to wear these, since his signature line was cancelled. Holy hell, what are they doing?

Have fun with that, Westbrook.

[Adam]

^Wow. I don't even know what to say about that.

[UD40]

Yikes.

Definitely way early on this, but I told myself I'd pay attention more this year, especially having Philly's 1st-rounder that we might actually use this time (cheap labor). What kind of player would you guys hope to take in the 2013 draft?

For me:

- PF or combo-forward
- Defensive-minded
- Rebounding machine
- Can stretch the floor out to 15-18+ feet, as a bonus

Doesn't need a low-post game, much of a face-up game, advanced perimeter skills, or out-of-the-gym athleticism.

Just quickly glancing at DX's mock draft, Tony Mitchell from North Texas and Andre Roberson from Colorado stand out. The latter is a combo forward who is a little undersized for PF (6-7, 6-9 wingspan), but the way they describe his motor and defense has me salivating (comparisons to Marion, Faried, and Kawhi in the writeup). He may actually be available (mocked at 28), while Mitchell is placed at 11 right now (based on prospect ranking, not team needs, obviously).

Here's a scouting video on Mitchell:



Both appear to be great athletes and rebounders. Mitchell may be more talented and possessing the more impressive physical traits, while Roberson has a better motor and is more polished defensively.

Anyone else I should keep an eye on?

OT: Watching Bobcats games here and the occasional stream of other teams, it amazes me how much more homerish other announcers are than Eric and Tony.

[Wade2Bosh]

Is it the Blazers broadcast for that game? Mike and Mike are notorious homers.
