We have only one pick?
Not a fan of this pick
Reminds me of Adam Morrison.😂
Yeap another player that can defense Jovic! Smh!
I don't want to sound racist but this is like the third year in a row we drafted some random white guy
Cam Whitmore >> Jaime Jaquez
This pick suck😢😢
jourdan black's hair looks really pretty
how is 225 strong when you are comparing it to a match up where we were undersized, and the man we are matching up against is still taller and 10lbs heavier than jaquez??? this was a shit pick.
I like the pick
The blazers taking murray and not brining him in for 1 workout is very interesting with us looking at him too
My initial impression on TV when they picked him was "moves all wrong for a point guard, looks like ordinary playground player instead of NBA." Don't know why I thought he was a point guard… maybe cuz they said he has a little Jalen Brunson in him… which I found laughable before looking into him as a medium-sized, not small, player. And now I can see their thinking, and it makes me think they feel that they're gonna have to let Strus walk, and replace him with someone just a little bigger, who is a much better shot blocker, pass tipper, and stealer, though both are competent as on ball defenders… although I think Jaquez has better feet that might allow him to stay with smaller players on switches a little better, at least initially, and has the timing and hands to still block their shots if they get by him. And I actually do see a LITTLE Jalen Brunson in his offensive game, and a LITTLE Jimmy Butler in how he "out-times" people guarding him. And he dribbles better than Max, and since he can score inside consistently, should not have Max's funny way of being unable to shoot for a half or more when he has not played for three days or more… so, in other words, a more consistent scorer. And, if his three point shooting (which doesn't have bad form) efficiency improves a lot, he could give them everything Max gives them, and more (better dribbling, better passing, better shot blocking, better stealing, better Brunson/Butler-lite inside scoring). He has good hands and shot-blocking-timing on defense, and good footwork even on defense, so, I've come right around on how he moves, for his actual size.
Another piece that isnt Herro to trade for Dame imo
I cant believe it, I'm pissed. He's ball dominant, plays like Jimmy and we don't need guys who handle the ball at the moment. We have arleady Jimmy, Bam, Tyler and some others. I really don't like his perimetral defense, it seems very slow to me and prone to be attacked in PNR defense a lot. Also an unreliable three point catch and shooter. I get that he's clever, that he hustles and he has a feel for the game but we did need a athletic wing defender since we have a short and unathletic frontcourt. Ok maybe Whitmore wasnt the best option, although we need talent in that spot, but why didnt we take a shot on Prosper or Miller? I feel that in this situation we're the victim of our own identity, always trying to find the guys with the chip on their shoulders but guess what, a lot of times they're unathletic and defensively prone. I'm tired of that and very disappointed at this pick unless one between Jaquez or Herro gets traded. Last but not least I wish Jaime nothing but the best. Hopefully I'm wrong and he's gonna be a great player for us. S/O to the Pod from Italy.
I loved the pick!!!
Tired of hearing this Heat fit culture guy this kid is everything Miami didn't need
Should’ve drafted Cam Whitmore. That natural talent with that development team would’ve been great.
Miami had the chance to trade it to Houston and they didn't these guys dont know hot to draft
Cam is the future too green
We drafted Adam Sandler…😅
Heat going for a heady player…who makes all the right plays. Still, they have not answered their lack of size.
Heat need a 6’11 to 7 foot center Heat don’t need a guard or another small forward. Heat is still looking small. They need length
It’s funny to me how many heat fans hate this pick. I’m a UCLA fan and the privilege to watch Jaime for four years and I can tell you that all of you who are digging on him will quickly love him in a few years. This team definitely refer another wing/forward type who can play good team defense and get buckets when jimmy is fatigued. Trading for dame would deplete all their depth and I feel like he’s just not one of those players when the finals and conference finals hit that would rise to the occasion and this team would break down again by the end of the season. Jaime is gonna helpnbutler out a lot and I think the two can play well together
