9. Rasual Butler, SF, 2002 Draft, Round 2, 53rd Overall
Rasual Butler is another round two selection that ended up being the ultimate value pick. 13 years after he was initially selected by the Heat, Butler continues to play a key role on an NBA squad having played for the Washington Wizards during the 2014-15 season.
Butler played three years in Miami, and his stats aren’t anything special—he averaged 6.9 PPG on 36 percent from three-point range.
However, he did play a key role on the 2004-05 squad which was one game away from the NBA Finals.
Butler would later be traded in a five-team trade in 2005 that led to the Heat acquiring James Posey, Jason Williams and Antoine Walker. All three players would play major roles in the franchise’s first championship in 2006.
