The Heat on Monday summoned guard Kenny Hasbrouck to South Florida with the intent of signing him, presuming he passes a physical. The former Siena standout is eligible to sign a 10-day contract (or longer, if the Heat chooses) and would fill the roster spot of Rafer Alston, who was suspended for the season after leaving the team unannounced.

 

Hasbrouck likely would receive playing time only if there are injuries to starting point guard Carlos Arroyo and backup Mario Chalmers.

 

Hasbrouck, 6-3, is a former combo guard whom the Heat was trying to convert into a point guard during its summer program last year before he sustained a broken rib while taking a charge before camp opened in late September. He was averaging 16.9 points in 10 games with Rio Grande Valley of the NBA Development League.

 

``He's an intriguing young prospect,'' Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. ``He impressed us more and more each week. We didn't want to cut him -- he got hurt right before training camp. He's got a strong body, a knack for getting into the paint and he improved his shooting during the summer.

 

``He's quick, he can guard small guys and bigger guys.''

 

Hasbrouck, 23, was an Associated Press All-American honorable mention selection before going undrafted last June.

I guess for now he'll just be a practice body. He'll only get playing time if something were to happen to Arroyo or Rio.
