The Miami Heat conclude their preseason stint defeated, after losing all seven of their games. However, there were some positive takeaways from a team and player perspective. They showed sparks of being a fast-paced offense, Kel'el Ware had dominant performances, Jaime Jaquez Jr. resembled his rookie self, and Norman Powell is finding a rhythm with the team.

The preseason was also an opportunity for the training camp invitees to audition for a spot in the league, whether it is with the Heat or another organization.

There wasn't a player that stood out entirely throughout their small stints, but one left a great impression: Jahmir Young. 

The 25-year-old guard did not hear his name announced in last year's NBA draft, which left him to rely on an opportunity in free agency. He first signed a training camp deal with the Denver Nuggets, but was later waived. Young would join the Grand Rapids Gold, their G-League affiliate. Fast forward to mid-February, he signed a two-year two-way contract with the Chicago Bulls. However, early this summer, the undrafted prospect was waived again.

Young then signed a training camp deal with the Heat, an organization known best for developing overlooked players. He also appeared in three of the team's seven preseason games.

In a matchup against the Orlando Magic, most of the Heat's established players were sidelined due to rest purposes, which created an extraordinary opportunity for someone like Young. He made every second on the court count, finishing with 18 points, three steals, and two assists in 32 minutes of action. Young was also the second leading scorer for the Heat in that game.

It clearly left a great impression on the organization, as a recent report suggests that both parties have agreed on a two-way contract, which was their final open slot.

Last season, Young spent significant time in the G-League and averaged 21.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 7.2 assists, two steals, and shot 45.6 percent from the field, 30.4 percent from three-point range in 43 appearances between the Windy City Bulls and Grand Rapids Gold.

It's also worth noting that the Heat's G-League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce, acquired Young's returning player rights in a three-team deal in September.

Young will likely spend a significant time this season with the Skyforce than the Heat, especially because they have tremendous depth in the backcourt. The organization could help develop him and carve out a long NBA career, as they have with past projects.
