MIAMI — The Miami Heat announced their Summer League roster on Monday.

The Heat’s top draft pick, guard Kasparas Jakucionis will be part of the roster. The Heat took the 19-year-old out of Illinois with the No. 20 pick.

Last year’s two draft picks Kel’el Ware and Pelle Larsson are both listed on the roster.

Also of interest, former FAU big man Vladislav Goldin will also be with the Heat this summer. Miami signed him after the draft.

The Heat will play in the California Classic in San Francisco and in the NBA 2K6 in Las Vegas.
