Miami Heat draft history

The Miami Heat are an American professional basketball team based in Miami, Florida.

They play in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

The Heat first participated in the NBA draft on June 28, 1988, about five months before their inaugural NBA season.

In 1989, the NBA agreed with the National Basketball Players' Association to limit drafts to two rounds, an arrangement that has remained the same up the present time.
