of players Wednesday including forward Luke Jackson and two rookies, center
Steven Hill and guard Jamaal Tatum.
Per team policy, terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
Jackson, a four-year NBA veteran, posted career-highs in points (5.6) and
rebounds (2.4) in 16.3 minutes for Miami last season. The 26-year-old was the
10th overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft by Cleveland. After two seasons with

Clippers and Raptors before signing with the Heat in December of 2007.

blocks in five games with Portland's NBA Summer League squad this past July.

rebounds and 2.11 blocks as a senior last season after garnering SEC Defensive
Player of the Year honors the season prior.
The six-foot-two, 175-pound Tatum was the fourth overall selection in the 2007
NBA Developmental League Draft before missing the season with an injury. He
signed with the Atlanta Hawks that season and participated in training camp.
The 23-year-old spent four years at Southern Illinois where he averaged 12.8
points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists while earning a Missouri Valley
Conference Player of the Year award as a senior.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
