breaking news: Undrafted Keshad Johnson brings intensity and

In recent seasons, the Miami Heat’s roster has lacked dynamic athleticism. Players like Jimmy Butler with his ground-bound style, Bam Adebayo with his mid-post game, and Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier with their weak finishes have not provided many athletic highlights.

However, this seems to be changing. Last season, 2023 first-round pick Jaime Jaquez Jr. participated in the dunk contest during All-Star Weekend. Now, the Heat have added undrafted prospect Keshad Johnson, a forward from Arizona, on a two-way contract.

Johnson’s performance at the end of the third period in the Heat’s Saturday victory over the Boston Celtics at the Las Vegas Summer League was nothing short of spectacular. With 3.9 seconds left, Johnson stole the ball in the defensive paint from former Heat two-way player Drew Peterson, sprinted the length of the court, and executed a powerful dunk with 0.5 seconds remaining. The 6-foot-6, 225-pound forward’s play elicited a mix of gasps and cheers from the crowd at UNLV.
