Cole joins Chris Bosh, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Udonis Haslem, Mike Miller, Joel Anthony, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Dexter Pittman on the Heat roster.
In a draft stacked with talented point guards, Riley said the Heat rated Cole ahead of "maybe four or five" other point guards drafted ahead of him. The Heat originally held the 31st pick in the draft but made a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves to net the 28th spot in order to land Cole. In return, the Heat sent the 31st pick, a future second-round pick, and cash considerations to Minnesota.
Riley felt that there was a possibility that another team would target Cole before the 31st pick. The San Antonio Spurs, who had agreed to trade their backup point guard George Hill to the Indiana Pacers during Thursday's draft, and the Chicago Bulls held the 29th and 30th picks respectively.Miami Heat
