The Heat reached across town late Wednesday night, landing Miami Hurricanes point guard Tre Donaldson as their first confirmed post-draft addition.<\/p>\n
Donaldson agreed to a two-way contract with the Heat, which would make him eligible to appear in as many as 50 games next season. Teams can sub out two-way contract players at any time, but teams cannot poach two-way contract players from other organizations.<\/p>\n
Donaldson helped guide the Hurricanes to an NCAA Tournament bid last season, averaging 16.4 points and 5.7 assists and earning All-ACC second-team honors. He shot 45.4 percent from the field and 35.9 percent on threes, with 201 assists compared with 74 turnovers.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s \u201ca leader, winner, competitor, a player who will make others better,\u201d Heat vice president\/basketball operations Adam Simon said. \u201cWe had an opportunity to see him play a lot. Talked to his coaches here and other coaches he played for previously.\u201d<\/p>\n
Donaldson auditioned for the Heat earlier this month after taking a red-eye flight from San Francisco. His workout reinforced what the Heat saw when they watched him play in college.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs players are coming off the board, he was our top rated point guard that was left undrafted, and we thought, \u2018Why not give him the two-way?\u2019 To be in our program, he will bring a lot of winning qualities to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
He finished third in the Atlantic Coast Conference in assists per game, 10th in scoring average and 16th in steals per game (1.4). He was fourth in average minutes played in the conference (34), eighth in win shares and 14th in plus minus.<\/p>\n
The 6-3 Donaldson transferred to UM from Michigan, where he started all 37 games at point guard in 2024-2025 and led the Wolverines in assists (4.1 average) while scoring 11.3 points per game.<\/p>\n
Donaldson, who attended high school in Tallahassee, played his first two seasons at Auburn (starting 10 games) before playing single seasons (and starting 70 combined games) at Michigan and Miami.<\/p>\n
In 139 career college games (including 80 starts), Donaldson averaged 9.4 points and 3.6 assists while shooting 44.5% from the field and 37.7 on threes.<\/p>\n
Donaldson was the Heat\u2019s second addition of the night, after trading the 41st pick and cash to Oklahoma City for the 37th pick, former Louisville guard Ryan Conwell at No. 37. The Thunder drafted Conwell at the Heat\u2019s behest.<\/p>\n
Both Conwell and Donaldson are expected to play for the Heat\u2019s summer league team, which is scheduled to travel to the West Coast in the coming days and will begin practices on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The Heat opens summer league play in San Francisco with a three-game schedule at the California Classic, matching up against the San Antonio Spurs\u2019 summer squad on July 3 at 8 p.m., the Los Angeles Lakers\u2019 summer team on July 5 at 4:30 p.m. and the Golden State Warriors\u2019 summer roster on July 6 at 10 p.m. at the Warriors\u2019 home arena.<\/p>\n
The Heat will then, like every NBA team, play at least five games in Las Vegas Summer league that will be held from July 9-19, with that full game schedule expected to be announced later this week. Only the two teams that make the championship game will play a sixth game in Las Vegas Summer League.<\/p>\n
Forward Myron Gardner and guard Jahmir Young are the two players from the Heat\u2019s season-ending 15-man standard roster who are expected to play for the Heat in summer league.<\/p>\n
Center Vlad Goldin and guard Trevor Keels, who closed last season on two-way contracts with the Heat, will also be on the Heat\u2019s summer league team this year.<\/p>\n
Heat assistant coach Wayne Ellington will coach the team.<\/p>\n
Here are the other undrafted prospects who committed to the Heat for summer league, according to reports:<\/p>\n
Louisville guard J\u2019Vonne Hadley: A guard with size at 6-foot-7 and 210 pounds who averaged 11.5 points, and 5.1 rebounds per game while shooting 56.2% from the field and 37 of 84 (44%) on threes as a sixth year senior last season. Hadley is also a switchable defender on the other end of the court. He was one of Louisville\u2019s four captains last season. Hadley signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Heat, according to DraftExpress.com\u2019s Jon Chepkevich.<\/p>\n
Auburn swingman Keyshawn Hall: He was the leading scorer in his one season at Auburn, averaging 19.3 points per game (fifth in the SEC) and 7.1 rebounds, which ranked eighth in the conference.<\/p>\n
Last season, he shot 45% from the field and 38% on three-pointers and ranked second in the country in free throws made with 228, the most in a season in Auburn history and one behind No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa, the former BYU star who was drafted by Washington. The previous season, Hall set UCF\u2019s single season record for free throws made with 199.<\/p>\n
The 6-7 Hall, who has acknowledged the need to improve defensively, played one season apiece at UNLV, George Mason, UCF and Auburn. In his career, he averaged 16.3 points and 6.5 rebounds while shooting 45% from the field, 37.1% on threes and 83.3% from the free throw line in 116 games and 97 starts.<\/p>\n
He was the Big 12\u2019s leading scorer (18.8 points per game) in his one year at UCF.<\/p>\n
\u201cKeyshawn Hall is a guy that better get looked at in the second round of the NBA Draft,\u201d Auburn coach Steven Pearl said in April.<\/p>\n
