It’s only 11 NBA games into his rookie campaign, but the early returns for Jaime Jaquez Jr. have been very encouraging.

With Tyler Herro sidelined by an ankle injury, Jaquez Jr. has been able to get more minutes and showcase the NBA-ready skillset that swayed the Heat to draft him with the 18th pick.

    Every year people go for guards with go to scoring potential and wings with size and shooting fall in the draft. I dont understand it. People here fall for the hype more than anyone. People thought the kings were morons for taking Murray over Ivey.
