Although Omier is listed at 6'7, he is about 6'5.5, per Miami head coach Jim Larranaga. Omier is in between the two forward spots. Omier made a conscious decision to take more three-point shots to improve his 2024 NBA Draft prospects. In 2023–24, Omier averaged 17.0 PPG, 10.0 RPG, 1.2 APG and shot 55.2 percent from the floor.
Joseph is the only significant loss for Miami in the transfer portal. In the past two seasons, Joseph was Miami's best on-ball defender. Because of significant injuries for Miami in 2023–24, Joseph started 32 of 37 games. Joseph averaged 9.6 PPG, 3.4 RPG and 3.4 APG, but shot only 40.8 percent from the floor and 36.4 percent on threes.
