The Miami Heat signed Michael Beasley out of necessity last season. When Chris Bosh was ruled out for the season after being diagnosed with blood clots on his lung, Erik Spoelstra needed a scoring threat who could stretch the floor. Enter Beasley, who was given a third chance with the franchise that drafted him.

Beasley did a lot of good. He was measurably better on defense, with a defensive rating of 96.7 this season, compared to 107.9 last season, per NBA.com. That was while defending multiple positions, and even anchoring a zone defense Spo had to go to with some of his more unconventional lineups.

But he also has a team option this upcoming season, and the Heat have a strong chance of being in position to draft a player at his position in the NBA Draft. According to the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson, the Heat could wait until the draft to decide if they will pick up his option.

With a June 29 deadline, the Heat is waiting before deciding and informing Michael Beasley whether it is picking up his 2015-16 option. Whether Miami keeps its draft pick (91 percent chance) could factor in. Henry Walker also stands his risk, with his deal including partial guarantee thresholds if he survives past a few dates over the next several months.

With the no. 10 pick the Heat are currently slated to have, there are likely to be quite a bit of small forward options, including Arizona’s Stanley Johnson and Kelly Oubre of Kansas.

As impressive as Beasley was last season, he has likely topped out as a scorer and, at 26, is still trying to carve out a niche in the league and developing his overall game. If the Heat choose a small forward in the draft, it wouldn’t be shrewd for the team to invest in so many developing players at a position of need–especially if Luol Deng opts out (remember, James Ennis still needs the attention of coaches as well).

The Heat will know where they will be selecting after the NBA Draft Lottery on May 19, and will be scouting prospects when the combine begins Tuesday.
