The Miami Heat may have landed just one pick in the 2017 NBA Draft (big man Bam Adebayo at No. 14), but as the team has proven before, sometimes the best rookies in the class go undrafted.
After the conclusion of Thursday night’s draft, the Heat signed three undrafted rookies to Summer League deals according to several sources: London Perrantes from the University of Virginia, Jamel Artis from the University of Pittsburgh, and Zak Irvin of Michigan University.
