The Heat entered the draft (which was two days instead of one like it had been since the NBA draft was shortened down to two rounds back in 1989) with one first-round pick and one second-round pick.[1][2] On the first night of the draft, the Heat would select center Kel'el Ware from the University of Indiana as the 15th pick. Then, on the second day of the draft, Miami would select Serbian shooting guard Nikola Đurišić from the KK Mega Basket.
