I hate Miami bruh 😭
Actually see some Jimmy in him.. Maybe a little better rim protection but slower burst.
he moves like Kelly Olynk with dribbles
HEAT
Not impressed
I fucking hate pat with a passion I’m done with the heat
Looks average. I don't see anything promising from him at all. Hope he's trade bait.
Another great #24 in LA but he’s playing pro in south beach! Welcome to the Heat !!!
WELCOME TO THE BACKYARD DOGS CULTURE!!!
He's going to Portland along with 3 other picks , Herro, Jovic and Highsmith
This was an F pick worst pick I’ve seen the Heat do
Remind me of jimmy/luka. Slower paced No wasted movements , sound crazy saying that but that’s what I see lol
Welcome to Miami 🙌
Cody Zeller get ready to learn Chinese
He seems like a better version of Nikola Jovic, all around player!
Who's here to see why he was picked?
Jacque Mate! Check mate in Spanish I got dibs on that shit.
6'7 1/2, 226 lbs, ready to play. He'll be better able to guard Nuggets' Braun, Caldwell-Pope, Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray. Great pick. And guess what, Jaquez's favorite NBA player? Jimmy Ffing Butler: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JuQ02Ai4v38
I see jimmy in him wtf
This kid has a high ass motor and looks really crafty! I like the pick👍🏼
this guy might be better than Jimmy butler
Here after the Miami Heat draft.
He looks solid. Hopefully miami keeps him.
Has some Jimmy Butler to him doesn’t he
Ok I see why Miami picked him. He fits right in
If the Heat let Max Strus or Gabe Vincent go, he will fit right in. Solid pick imo if the Heat do keep him.
hes good tho
This nigga tuff 😂
His game is just like jimmy butler
He has luka feet movement style. Nice to watch
He's a wanna be D Wade zero efficiency zero iq looks like plays like Adam Morrison please Heat trade this bum along with Max Strus, Caleb Martin for Dame
Wow we have a White Jimmy! 😂
Hispanic Jimmy Butler
He has a high IQ basketball mind from what I see. Love that he can post up as a wing, is crafty around the rim, and his 3 point shot looks smooth. He will definitely be in the rotation. I could see a Herro rookie year role for this kid.
Herro will be in danger zone
Bro, what the fuck am I looking at he plays just like Jimmy Butler
Once the player knows how to dribble the ball he knows how to score
I can see him playing PF
since Spo always go small ball
He’s does nothing better than Whitemore. Pick makes no sense
