After being drafted by the Charlotte Hornets, Shabazz Napier's talents were sent to South Beach:
Napier was selected by the Hornets 24th overall, but, as you can see in the post below, he was LeBron James' favorite player, and the Heat are trying to keep the King happy.
Hairston ended up being the 26th overall selection, taken in the first round, while Christon was drafted 55th, in the second round. Christon was then traded to the Thunder for cash.
