The pick is in!<\/p>\n
The Miami Heat have traded up with the Oklahoma City Thunder and have selected Louisville guard Ryan Conwell with the No. 37 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.<\/p>\n
As a result, the two teams will swap picks (No. 37 and 41), according<\/a> to ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania.<\/p>\n Sources: Oklahoma City is trading No. 37 Ryan Conwell to the Miami Heat for No. 41 and cash.<\/p>\n \u2014 Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) June 25, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Carrying plenty of the creation burden amid Mikel Brown\u2019s health, Conwell had a very strong senior season at Louisville. He averaged 18.8 points and 4.8 rebounds on 40.8 percent shooting and 34.5 percent shooting from 3-point range. <\/p>\n Conwell played at four programs (South Florida, Indiana State, Xavier, Louisville) in four seasons. He was an All-Conference player in the Missouri Valley, Big East and ACC over his final three seasons, respectively.<\/p>\n A quick rundown of Ryan Conwell\u2019s skillset:<\/p>\n Conwell\u2019s calling card is simple: The Heat need shooting, and in the right role, Conwell is a shooter.<\/p>\n For the reasons listed above, his 34.5 3-point percentage is a little deceiving when it comes to projecting his role at the next level. Conwell\u2019s primarily going to operate off-ball, and he\u2019s a phenomenal off-ball shooter.<\/p>\n That will be his role at the next level. He\u2019ll likely carry some burden as a secondary\/tertiary ballhandler who can attack closeouts. He didn\u2019t record a dunk last year, but he\u2019s still a sneaky good athlete (39.5-inch max vert) with good-not-great touch around the rim.<\/p>\n Conwell\u2019s also not a bad defender. He competes on that end of the floor. He has good-not-great size, but is competitive in the passing lanes and feisty at the point-of-attack.<\/p>\n However, he\u2019s a little bit too handsy on the perimeter. He\u2019s prone to picking up cheap, avoidable fouls; the 6-foot-4 guard averaged 3.8 fouls per 75 possessions as a senior and 3.5 for his career. He\u2019s going to have to work on his discipline and body positioning in order to stick defensively.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n This is a breaking news story.
