Today's the day, and notwithstanding the fact that Miami may trade their top-ten draft pick, it should be a good day for Heat faithful.

Whatever the case, I present to you some worthwhile reading to keep you occupied while you wait in anticipation for NBA commissioner Adam Silver to present the tenth pick.

But with a pick that high in a deep draft, it's a gamble that likely will give Pat Riley pause. "It's a tricky balance," one longtime talent evaluator said. "You have to be careful you don't regret it looking back." Johnson or Frank Kaminsky could be in the mix for Miami there, as well as Sam Dekker and perhaps Willie Cauley-Stein.
