NBA Mock Draft Pick #13 -- Frank Kaminsky, Center, Wisconsin

SB Nation's Heat blog, Hot Hot Hoops, explains the pick after acquiring it via trade:

With the recently acquired No. 13 pick from the 76ers, Miami selects Frank Kaminsky from Wisconsin. Pat Riley loves NBA-ready players and the senior will be able to fit right in and provide much-needed size as a versatile seven-footer who can knock down the outside shot. The Heat's collection of big men are only getting older and Kaminsky will improve with time on both ends of the floor. His unique skill set will add several dimensions to a potent offense in a dynamic frontcourt alongside either Chris Bosh or Hassan Whiteside.

By trading down just three spots, the Heat were able to acquire valuable draft picks either to be used as future trade pieces or to fill out the roster with cheaper players, a necessity if Pat Riley wants to resign his current starting five and lock them down for several years. The Heat's depleted collection of future draft picks after the Goran Dragic trade gets a boost with the addition of a future first round pick and a pair of second round picks.
