Vlad Goldin, unselected in the 2025 NBA Draft, has impressed the Miami Heat coaching staff since signing a two-way deal. At 7-foot-1, his hard-playing style and physicality have received praise from summer league head coach Eric Glass, who noted his efforts occasionally lead to burnout. While the Heat hopes to use Goldin as a primary backup, concerns about his lateral quickness indicate he will likely spend significant time in the G League. Realistically, he remains about a year away from being a potential contributor, mirroring some developmental aspects of fellow rookie Kel'el Ware.
He plays so freakin' hard out there. He plays so physical. You'd like to have him on the floor even longer, but he goes so hard, sometimes he burns himself out. That's why we love him.
Goldin was signed shortly after the conclusion of the 2025 NBA Draft when he was not selected. Inked to a two-way deal, it does appear as if the Heat's coaching staff may be expecting so much more from the 7-foot-1 center.
