The Heat\u2019s worst-kept secret is that they will be aggressively pursuing Giannis Antetokounmpo, who they could not secure ahead of the trade deadline. For now, they will have two picks \u2014 Nos. 13 and 41 overall \u2014 marking the third time since 2015 that they had multiple selections in a given draft.<\/p>\n<p>Recall that it did not work out Kasparas Jakucionis, yet they drafted him No. 20 overall last June. But they also viewed him as a top-8 prospect \u2014 as did I \u2014 where his falling to 20 wasn\u2019t realistic until the night transpired.<\/p>\n<p>There will be more clarity whether or not Miami will be drafting for themselves \u2014 or another team (Bucks) \u2014 on draft night. But for now, we will be tracking which players have reportedly worked out with the Heat. <\/p>\n<p>(Editor\u2019s Note: Initial information courtesy of Hoopshype unless otherwise specified.)<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, May 20:<\/p>\n<p>Malachi Moreno, C, Kentucky (according to Five Reasons Sports\u2019 Greg Sylvander)<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kentucky big Malachi Moreno met with the Miami HEAT in Chicago per source. <\/p>\n<p>A definite HEAT target in the draft.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greg Sylvander (@GregSylvander) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GregSylvander\/status\/2054710572684357926?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">May 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Friday, May 22:<\/p>\n<p>Amari Allen, F, Alabama (per Sylvander)<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, May 27:<\/p>\n<p>Dillon Mitchell, F, St. John\u2019s<\/p>\n<p>Saturday, May 30:<\/p>\n<p>Tobi Lawal, F, Virginia Tech (per Sylvander)<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>This is a developing news story.
