The Miami Heat announced today that they have signed second round draft selection Dexter Pittman. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"One of our priorities in the draft was to make sure that we could augment the depleted center position with the loss of Jermaine O?Neal," said Heat President Pat Riley. "Dexter has the size and agility to be a very productive player for us in the long run, and there is no better place for him to improve than in the Miami Heat system."
