Former Michigan center Vladislav Goldin is signing a two-way deal with the Heat, sources tell Shams Charania of ESPN (via Twitter). Goldin had been an unrestricted free agent after going unselected in this year’s draft.
The 7’1″ big man bounced around in the NCAA, kicking off his career at Texas Tech in 2020/21, then transferring to Florida Atlantic for the subsequent three seasons. During his fifth collegiate season, 2024/25, the Russian-born center notched averages of 16.6 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 1.4 BPG, 1.1 APG, and 0.5 SPG.
The 24-year-old earned a host of honors during his various college stints, including an All-Big Ten First Team accolade and Big Ten Tournament MVP honors with the Wolverines this past season.
Sam Vecenie of The Athletic had ranked Goldin as the year’s No. 51 prospect in his final big board.
Miami selected former Illinois guard Kasparas Jakucionis with the No. 20 pick in the draft. The Heat did not have their own second-rounder this week.
