According to HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto, the Miami Heat have reached an agreement with Jahmir Young, a backcourt star who was previously in free agency. According to Scotto, Young will have the opportunity to strike a two-way contract next. This means that Yang is likely to get a training camp contract that includes Exhibit 10. If Yang shows enough competitiveness during training camp or preseason, the Heat will also consider converting his training camp contract into a two-way contract.

Yang was born in October 2000 and is 24 years old, 188cm tall and 84kg. He was the undrafted in the NBA draft last year. With his outstanding performance in the NBA Development League, Yang received a two-way contract from the Chicago Bulls in February this year. In the NBA regular season last season, Yang played 4 games in total, with averaging 4.9 minutes per game, averaging 1.8 points, 0.5 rebounds and 1 assist, 0.2 turnovers and 0.3 fouls, with 80% shooting percentage, 50% from three-point shooting percentage and 100% from free throw percentage. In the NBA Development League last season, Yang played 43 times on behalf of the Denver Nuggets' subordinate team Grand Rapids Gold and Bulls' subordinate team Wind City Bulls, with averaging 34.3 minutes per game, with averaging 21.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.3 blocks, 3 turnovers and 1.4 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 46.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 30.2%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81.9%.

Previously, Yang also represented the Bulls in the NBA Summer League. He played 5 games in the summer league, averaging 20.1 minutes per game, averaging 13.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 0.8 steals. He also had 2.4 turnovers and 0.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 53.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 56.3%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 84.6%. In the game against the Milwaukee Bucks, he scored 40 points in a single game, making an incredible performance. Yang is actually a player with very comprehensive offensive ability. He has good scoring and explosive power, and he also has certain organizational skills. It seems that he is also a very mature player and can perform in low-level games. But he has not received enough display opportunities in the NBA field, and he has no way to realize his potential under such circumstances.

According to previous news, the Australian NBL team Perth Wildcats are very interested in Young and hope to introduce him. However, after careful consideration, Yang still decided to stay in the NBA in the new season. Currently, the Heat's lineup includes two players holding two-way contracts, namely Myron Garder and Vladislav Goldin. In other words, there is indeed a two-way contract in the Heat lineup that has not been given, and Yang does have the opportunity to launch an attack on this last place.
