Thanks squidpsyco for putting these reports together.
Jaime looking like a prototypical Heat guy.
I can’t stress enough how much I love Jaime Jaquez Jr. Steal of the draft for sure. Efficient scorer, uses his strength to post up and get easy looks. Also a great catch-and-shoot target. Hustles on defense, averages over a steal per game. Put him on a struggling team and I think he’d be a dark horse for ROY.
