  1. Triple J! UCLA Bruin fan here. I think the knock on Triple J coming out of college was that he did not have much of an upside- he played well at the D1 level, but sometimes D1 level points and other bball skills don't translate to the NBA. Also, Triple J would participate in the Rico Hines summer runs at UCLA. When you watched Triple J competing against NBA players like Paul George, Pascal Siakem, and Scottie Barnes you could see those guys just seemed to be at a higher athletic level. It didn't surprise me that Jaime fell out of the top 10 in the draft and I give Rob Pelinka a pass for drafting Hood-Scofino ahead of Triple J. You are right to point out how much better his shooting has gotten and when I watched him at Pauley Pavilion, I can't remember seeing the excellent footwork he shows at the elbow right now. There is a great video folks can see of Jaime training last summer with fellow UCLA Don McClean. The summer work paid off. Really happy to see Jaime doing so well in the pros.

  2. Wish they would start him but Spo uses him as the spark guy off the bench and a 4th quarter closer. Miami always start games off slow and I see him eventually starting later on when they’re healthier.

  3. He fits in on this team like he’s been here for 4 years. His game is similar to Jimmy’s and I have confidence in him when he has the ball.
