Heat sign Braswell and Rice

Today was the Heat's media day, right before kicking off training camp tomorrow, but this wasn't the only activity going on for the Heat - they also signed former UM star Darius Rice and PG Kevin Braswell.

Braswell, a 6'2" point guard hailing from Georgetown as their 7th all time leading scorer, has played with Darius Rice before - last season for the Florida Flames of the NBDL. The Flames are also the minor league affiliate for the Miami Heat. Braswell has been signed due to recent concerns over injuries former Kentucky PG Gerald Fitch has sustained.

Darius Rice, nephew of NFL great Jerry Rice, is listed at 6'10" 222lbs and averaged 16.1PPG for UM. He shot .344 from 3 point range for his college career while also hitting from the field at a clip of .403. He looks to challenge for a spot at SF or even SG during training camp.
