As we get closer to the 2017 NBA Draft, the search for the next Miami Heat player intensifies. The team will work out four more big men prospects.

We are fewer than two weeks away from the 2017 NBA Draft. And as the time frame until June 22 continues to shorten, we are starting to get a better idea of the type of player the Miami Heat will likely be targeting with the 14th overall pick.

We have already heard about workouts the team has set up (or gone through) with multiple players. Among them, we have: Justin Jackson (UNC), Ivan Rabb (Cal), Ike Anigbogu (UCLA), Dwayne Bacon (Florida State),  Johnathan Motley (Baylor), Zach Collins (Gonzaga) and Thomas Bryant (Indiana).

If we look at those names a bit more closely, one very obvious theme starts to present itself. Of all the prospects Miami has taken a closer look at thus far, all but two (Jackson and Bacon) are big men.

What's more, over the past few days, we've learned of four new players the Heat have invited to South Florida. And guess what? They're all bigs.

According to the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson, Pat Riley's team will be working out Duke's Harry Giles, Wake Forest's John Collins, Texas' Jarrett Allen and Creighton's Justin Patton in the coming days.

Each of those guys has varying strengths and weaknesses; let's examine each player a bit more closely and figure out their potential fit in Miami.
