The Heat are interested in joining the new NCAA Final Four MOP. Is he a native Floridian?

According to Adam Finkelstein, the scout director of the well-known basketball media 247sports, this year's NCAA New Final Four MOP winner Walter Clayton Jr. has conducted several pre-select trials for the Heat and has recently canceled its trip to other teams. Finkelstein also said that with a series of amazing performances during the previous March Madness, Walter Clayton Jr. believes his draft market has improved a lot. Judging from the current situation, Walter Clayton Jr. is likely to be selected in the top 20 picks in the first round in the next NBA draft.

Clayton was born in March 2003 and is 22 years old. According to data from the previous joint trial physical test, his bare feet are 188cm tall, his wingspan is 193cm, his standing height is 247.7cm, and his weight is 90.3kg. In the NCAA game this season, Clayton made a total of 39 appearances, averaging 32.5 minutes per game, averaging 18.3 points, 3.7 rebounds (0.4 frontcourt rebounds), 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.5 blocks, 2.4 turnovers and 1.9 fouls, shooting percentage of 44.8% (6.0/13.4), three-point shooting percentage of 38.6% (3.0/7.8), and free throw shooting percentage of 87.5% (3.2/3.7). Clayton's performance has also been widely recognized. He is the MOP and MVP winner of the NCAA Final Four MCAA Championship this season. He was shortlisted for the All-American Team and the All-SEC League Team this season. He is also one of the best players on the NCAA field this season.

From the perspective of characteristics, Clayton is a player with excellent scoring ability and rich offensive methods on the offensive end. His outside shooting ability is quite good, he also has excellent breakthrough ability, and his performance at the free throw line is also worthy of recognition. He also has certain passing ability and organizational ability. He can indeed provide a lot of help and support to the team on the offensive end. However, Clayton's figure is indeed too limited, and his age is a little older. These factors have greatly affected his upper limit and have led to people being a little worried about his future development in the NBA.

It is worth mentioning that Clayton is a native of Florida. His hometown of Sibring is not far from Miami, just a 3-hour drive away. Clayton has a high popularity and fame in Florida, which is also a factor worth considering by the Heat. In the next NBA draft, the Heat held the 20th pick in the first round, which is basically consistent with his draft market. I wonder if the Heat will consider using this first-round pick to choose Clayton, a backcourt player who shined in March before.
