Sounds like your rooting for the kid to fail at this point, you’ve been at it for hours; if he plays well he’s gonna shut you up.


Just venting. I hope he does.

Bam looked like a reach too, so who knows.

IF he's a much better shooter then he showed like some have suggested,
And IF they think he's tough enough to play PF (Because he's small for the position) -

Then maybe he can be a real player.

I'm rooting for him to surprise, no one mocked the kid to go top 20.

Really want to see who we got circled from the undrafted pool, hopefully there's a few promising guys

He already has a 39 inch vertical leap, let’s see what else is in that bag.

Let's find the next undrafted Strus, OG strus is very likely gone.

Jaquez is in the same size category as OG Anunoby and PJ Washington and more of a natural scorer than both.

Wish he was a bit bigger to play PF, but maybe with his toughness he can make it work

Either we are definitely losing Strus, Herro and Robinson this offseason and Miami are trying to keep their diversity quota or Miami are trolling with these undrafted selections. :lol:

Our Summer League team gonna look like the 1950 Boston Celtics

I like the pick. If we keep him i think he can contribute straight away. We have a project in Jovic. We needed a sure thing and he is as sure as it gets. He has the NBA body and skills and the most important thing he is a Heat type player. His work ethic his attitude should fit perfectly here.

That's a long lost forgotten name
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade
