Ther heat are looking at power forwards according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. On Friday they auditioned Duke?s Carlos Boozer, Maryland?s Lonnie Baxter and Brazilian big man Maybyner Hilario. Whilke Boozer and Baxter are projected as late first round picks, Hilario may be available when the Heat pick at number ten.

''That group of power forwards -- Jared Jeffries, Hilario, Marcus Haislip, Amare Stoudemire -- is moving up,'' Heat general manager Randy Pfund said. ``Hilario moved up in our evaluation after seeing him in person.''
Stanford center Curtis Borchardt, another potential lottery pick, will work out for the Heat today. His stock is also rising because of a lack of true centers in the draft, Pfund said.

Ira Winderman of the Sun-Sentinel reports that the Heat have several options available to them to fill their small forward position. Pfund said Indiana forward Jared Jeffries has moved up in the estimation of some teams ?right behind the first four,? with junior-college standout Qyntel Woods rounding out what is considered the top of the field at small forward.

With Alonzo Mourning at center, Brian Grant at power forward and Eddie Jones at shooting guard under contract, and with free-agent point guard Rod Strickland giving indications he could return at the Heat?s price, small forward remains the team?s greatest unknown.

Pfund said the staff already has identified trade options and free-agent possibilities at the position, with a wide-ranging list that goes all the way to low-end options such as former Heat forward Walt Williams.
