Heat cut Corey Hawkins, add Briante Weber

The Miami Heat announced today that they have signed guard Briante Weber and waived guard Corey Hawkins. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Weber played all four seasons at Virginia Commonwealth, appearing in 127 games (65 starts) and averaged 6.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.94 steals and 23.4 minutes while shooting 42.6 percent from the field.

He finished as VCU’s all-time career steals leader (374), shattering the previous 29-year old record by 117, capping his career third on the NCAA’s steals list, just 12 shy from becoming the all-time career leader before missing the final 10 games of his senior season due to injury.

Weber will wear number 25.

Hawkins appeared in two games with the Heat this preseason totaling six points, two rebounds and an assist in 14 minutes of action.
