hahaha, llook at Juman and his son welcoming him to the 305, letting him know he's in good hands

It was down to Howard and Jaquez in this draft for us. Magic sniped but we got a good one

For me it’s giving his peak would be 17/7/6

Not sure he has star potential so, we’ll see.

Absolute killer. And I’ve heard Pat made him dive for loose balls right and left and the kid’s metacarpals held up like steel. Tyler Jerro, pack your bags.

You are crazy. Jaquez was invited to the green room for a reason. He destroyed all his workouts and dogged everyone in the draft range during the process.

I wanted Prosper and Sasser in the second round.

Both went first round

We won't get into the second round at all

Not my night

They didn't need someone with "star" potential. THey needed someone that had skill sets that could allow him to see the court right away. A lot of this sounds like a guy that can find himself in the rotation pretty quickly.

If Jaquez ended up in Boston, we (excuse me, you) would absolutely hate him.
