"During the Summer League, Goldin looks like a decent option for a rotational big man and looks like a solid pickup for the Heat. But while he was on Miami's preseason roster, the October slate revealed just how far he still has to go in his development. He only appeared in three games, and even then, he only averaged 7.8 minutes in those three games."
"The Heat have called up Goldin from Sioux Falls, and he should be available against the Hornets. But at 7'0" and 250 pounds, he is litteraly the only immediate option Miami has to rotate for Kel'el Ware while Adebayo is out. Wednesday's loss to Denver revealed just how quickly things can fall apart for Miami when they run out of size, as the Heat were mauled on the glass in that game."
Bam Adebayo has a sprained left big toe confirmed by MRI and will miss some time but is expected to return relatively soon. The Heat lack a strong size replacement, prompting a roster call-up of undrafted rookie Vladislav Goldin from Sioux Falls. Goldin previously played at FAU, transferred to Michigan, went undrafted, and signed a two-way contract with Miami. He showed promise in Summer League but logged limited preseason minutes—three games at 7.8 minutes per game—with minimal impact and a -2.8 plus/minus. At 7'0" and 250 pounds, Goldin is the only immediate size option while Adebayo recuperates. The team hopes Kel'el Ware can step up.
