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.
And he’s even better on defense. Sooooo happy with this kid man. Lookin like one of the biggest steals of this draft!!!
You know how much Spo has to trust you AS A ROOKIE to play all 12 minutes in 4 consecutive 4th quarters in the first ~12 games of your NBA career. We got a lifer.
