The Heat made a roster move on Monday waiving rookie forward Stefan Jankovic and adding center Vashil Fernandez to the roster. The all-time leading shot blocker at Valparaiso, Fernandez (6-10, 260) was the NCAA leader in blocks last season (3.31 per game) and was named the Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year for the second year in a row.
Albert Nahmad: Miami Heat announces it has signed center Vashil Fernandez and waived power forward Stefan Jankovic, who had a $100K partial guarantee.
Chris Reichert: Full expect Jankovic to start season with the Sioux Falls Skyforce as affiliate player twitter.com/albertrandom1/…
Difficult to see Rodney McGruder, Stefan Jankovich or Okaro White making the roster barring trades of veterans. The Heat hopes to stash all three in D-League. Miami loves Jankovic’s soft touch and range but he needs to gain at least 10 pounds.
Should he carve an NBA career out of his partially guaranteed contract with the Heat, undrafted Hawaii forward Stefan Jankovic could have an interesting international decision, born in Serbia and raised in Canada. On one hand, Serbia is coming off a silver-medal finish in the Olympics. On the other hand, Canada could emerge as a power should Andrew Wiggins, Tristan Thompson and Kelly Olynyk take more active roles. “I’ve been in contact with both,” Jankovic said of the Serbian and Canadian federations. “Obviously there was some interest this summer, but due to summer league, for both Canada and for Serbia, I wasn’t able to do any of the training camps and tryout and the exhibition stuff. So that kind of limited what I was able to do. But in the future, I haven’t really made a decision, but I’ve been in contact with both.”
