Fresh off the end of the 2024 draft, the Heat have agreed to sign a trio of undrafted free agents to new contracts.
Miami has reached agreements with Arizona forward Keshad Johnson and Florida guard Zyon Pullin on two-way contracts, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports (Twitter links).
A 6’7″ swingman, Johnson played for San Diego State across his first four seasons of NCAA eligibility before using his bonus senior season to transfer to the Wildcats. In 2023/24, he posted averages of 11.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, with a shooting line of .530/.387/.710.
Pullin, an All-SEC honoree this past season, similarly enjoyed a five-year collegiate career. He played for UC Riverside from 2019-23, then transferred to Florida this past season. With the Gators, the 6’4″ guard averaged 15.5 points on .444/.449/.847 shooting, aloog with 4.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 0.9 steals per contest. He started in 27 of 33 games in 2023/24.
Meanwhile, sources have informed Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (via Twitter) that Miami has also agreed to sign Bryson Warren – who played on the Heat’s NBAGL affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce, before declaring for the draft – to an Exhibit 10 deal.
Warren, a 6’3″ combo guard, averaged 7.8 points, 1.9 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 17 regular season games with Sioux Falls, posting a shooting line of .381/.306/.778.
Exhibit 10 contracts can be converted into two-way deals or can set up a player to earn a bonus if he’s waived and then joins his team’s NBAGL affiliate.
