The release of Khem Birch leaves Andre Dawkins in the Heat's final 15. The undrafted rookie guard out of Duke impressed the Heat in both summer league and training camp with his 3-point stroke.
"Dawkins has proven that he can shoot it with range," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "He has a quick trigger. He can develop other aspects to his game."
Dawkins is one of three rookies left after the cut to 15, joined by 2014 first-round pick Shabazz Napier and 2013 second-round pick James Ennis.
