WELLCOME OUR NEW WHITE CHOCOLATE - MR. NIKOLA "GROWN MEN" JOVIC

[rate_]

Calling this a steal would be an understatement. He should have never dropped that far down.

Word on his workouts is that he didn’t shoot as well as expected in an empty gym & overall teams weren’t as wowed as they were expecting to be.

His tantrums and body language at the U19 worlds has given some teams case to pause as well. But he’s handled himself well throughout the second half of their season, despite COVID & an injury.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see what we get in Summer League. I hope he’s playing lots of minutes.

Kinda remind me of how Winslow was a projected TOP 5 pick yet ended up falling down to us at 10 because his workouts were so bad.

I'm tempering my expectations. As long as he can become the best pick we've ever made, we should be good. He's basically KD 2.0.

Mario Hazjonga, Crystal Pozingis, TJ Leaf, Ryan Kelly, Jeff Whitey

We've been fooled by Rex's Euro stretch 4 white boy hype way too many times.

Never again DoM

I figure he will probably be traded anyway.

Heat need to release a drippy workout video of him abusing guys to work up the market.

I'll take him being our second best pick ever.

Y'all are crazy, but I love it lol

This kid is more like Hezojna with a Hedo Turkoglu high upside than he is a superstar.

I think we are going to see a much raw-er player up front than we thought, but he seems like a gamer so it will be interesting to see what he does in the next couple weeks in SL

Totally disagree.. Herzonja's main issue was his basketball IQ and passing ability. He was drafted hight because of his athleticism. Jovic is not as athletic but has better size and knows how to play the game. BB IQ appears to be one of his strengths. Jovic appears to be a better shooter as well

in my defense I only liked 3 of these names.

Not necessarily the best 3.

Anyway clearly Nicola is on another level - he's not the scoring win we dreamed of, he'll be better then our dreams.

THis.

I like my chance when i see the youngest player in the draft, 6'10-6'11, HIGH BB IQ, proven against pro's already.

[heatwillbeback]

Watching his videos today, I see a lot of Lauri Markannen more than any other player. Which yea would be great if he develops into that given where we picked him.

Jover > Joker
Taller Herro > Tyler Herro
Grown Men Jovic
New White Chocolate


kid is already a Heat Real GM Legend

He had underwhelming first pro season, but he also had lots of nagging injuries which have slowed him down. I think he played way too much of the basketball coming into the last season, all kind of youth tournaments etc., so he came into the new season overworked with those small nagging injuries . I was the first who started to writing about him last year on NBA Draft board. I really liked him a lot, still do, he needs to work on his stamina and need to add some weight. He has potential to become one of the steals in this draft class.

I just went and read all of your posts from the NBA Draft section on him.

Appreciate all the insight? Seems like you are as well versed in the Jover as anyone on this site.

was Rex this excited when u guys got the original white chocolate?

Guess that Wade guy was alright but he's retired so how good was he really?

Wade is a double traitor and will only be forgiven if he trades us mitchell

[dshearn]

I think Herro is underrated on this forum, and I think if the next generation of heat players stay intact, can stay intact, the Yurt-Bam-Jovic-Herro years at least appear to have some potential, but the team has to find more defense.

I hope Miami at least flirts with the idea of him being a big SF. Miami needs size

[Wiltside]

I’d say he will get most minutes at the 3 initially. He’s going to get picked on defensively much like DRob, and refs won’t give him an inch either.

Offensively, his role will predominantly be catch and shoot spacer but I could see us running Duncan/Strus reps for him to shoot over smaller defenders if he proves he has that level of endurance and mobility. Remains to be seen if he’s a pure shooter on the move like those guys though.

Spo could use him in the Leonard/KO spot as the weak side spacer. That forces their 3/4 to be cautious hedging into the key & opens it up a little for Jimmy/Bam.
