I wish he shot 3s like Reaves in college



Reaves is a 1-2


He's a 3-small ball 4.

Works out of the high and low cost. A lot of cutting, a lot of driving and turnaround fadeaways

To me he looks like a jack of all trades kind of player, I’m definitely intrigued. Gotta see how he does in summer league before i can really say more.

I am surprised. I am not mad become I really like Jaquez. When I scouted UCLA he was hands down the best player on that team. I am highly confident the young man will play out the gate

I knew I should've ordered a double shot of clorox on the rocks to sip on while I watched this draft.

Scratch that. Should've gotten it neat. Don't need the ice to dilute it.

I can see why. His game looks very similar to Jimmy. Obviously, I'm not saying he will be as good.

Cmon man. I don’t mean actual replica. I mean older college vet that has floor game and exceeds expectation as a fit for the NBA game

Whether he pans out or not, his attitude and game scream Heat culture. I can see why the org picked him.

I've been following our drafts for a while now.

This is probably to worst I felt about a pick, ever.

Especially considering we had #18, which isn't that low for us - and that were still good options on the board. Multipule.
