He is our best rookie since Dwayne Wade!!! This is the best team in the Jimmy Butler era.
Don't sleep on Herro
@@Willy_Jeanherro is a good scorer but his ball IQ is trash compare to Jaime if they allow Jaime to be the guy he would be ,ore efficient than Herro even jimmy
Couldnt agree more
JJJ. Is absolutely the best draft pick since D wade its not even close. Hes polished he spent 4 years in college and thats unheard of in this day. And it looks like more guys should stick it out in college longer
@@razielthagreat I agree with you about everything except the 4 years. That's not why he is this good.
Jaquez Jr uncannily plays like Jimmy Buckets, this guy is a steal for the Heat. I'm also happy that Robinson and Herro are stepping up their games and their team defense. All analyst predictions are nonsense about the heat. Heat all the way to the finals.

Wow, so impressed with the rookie play of my fellow Bruin Jaime Jaquez Jr.!
His decision to come back to UCLA for a 4th year really paid off for him. He came into the NBA a more mature and experienced player and it shows in his play as a rookie.
If he stays healthy I predict a very successful NBA career for him.
Go Bruins!!
UCLA Class of 1975
I didn't go to UCLA but I'm the older brother of a great 😊 UCLA player in the 80s Darren Daye and we are amazed at how well Jaime is doing in the NBA. For some reason Darren didn't think he shoots well enough from 3, but I'm going to show him this vid to prove how effective he is.
It's also just fun watching him play. The NBA is so tough to have a career in, but the right fit is so imperative that it can determine bust or bloom despite your talent level. What a great fit Miami is to Jaime and vise versa. Here's to many years to the coolest rookie this year, or of the years.
GO BRUINS!!!! err HEAT!!!
@@markucla : I definitely remember your younger brother - in fact I saw him play when he was a senior at Granada Hills Kennedy High School in (I believe) 1979.
As with most super star players in high school Darren dominated the game - he was like a man among boys and could score any time he wanted to.
Side note: the center on the Kennedy HS team that game was a junior named Stuart Gray, who also played for UCLA.
he's probably the 2nd Best rookie as of the moment. I don't think wemby is playing better than him this December.
Imma give wemby some slack for being a true first year
@@nathanosaka3977 They all true first years except for Chet
Jamie should have been a top 10 pick honestly
@@glen7137 most teams prioritize potential though, thats why he falls in the middle.
😂😂😂😂😂
I watched Jaime highlights for like 5 minutes before the draft. That's all it took for me to be like "hispanic jimmy butler, heat should draft him" and its working out exactly like that
JJJ is so fundamentally sound coupled with his athleticism and court awareness…he is def my Rookie of the Year‼️
Best rookie a stretch but he good
JJJ is too much; 3J. Threejay
JJJ plays in Memphis
4 year college players translate so well into the NBA. 90% of lottery picks turn into underwhelming career players, but these players that get drafted after playing multiple years in college are good, smart players that can fit on any team being a good role player.
I think part of the problem with the one-and-done players is you have a bunch of 19 year old kids who need more time at the college level to develop their game and need more maturity to deal with a) the grind of the long NBA season and b) the enormous amount of money they are handed.
Jaime Jaquez is a sterling example of how delaying your entry into the pros to give yourself some more time to grow up can pay big dividends. If Jaime had declared for the NBA draft after his 3rd season he would have been at best a second round draft choice. But after his 4th year at UCLA he elevated himself to a first round pick and is is definitely in the conversation for rookie of the year.
IMO he only gets better from here.
Great player.. very nice to watch.. congratulation Miami...
He's a Latino Jimmy Butler.
Jaime literally means Jimmy in Spanish.
Greater😎🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
@@SRT_DRE Jaquez literally means "butler" in Spanish.
@@pinoyheartbeat7245 pinoy literally means “f@gg0t” in America.
@@pinoyheartbeat7245 Jr., literally means "Michael Jordan son" in Spanish
I'll say it for you then, he is a star. His production off the bench is better than generational talents casuals are praising now. He's only 22 and has all the traits to blossom into a superstar when given the opportunity. With him at the helm and the guidance of Spo, the Heat are set up for a bright future.
As JJJ says, ‘the sky is the limit’. Winning plays, just like Jimmy.
Biggest surprise to me is how doesn't make a lot of mistakes & his defense is top notch for a rook
Reminds me of Manu, Soild defender, soild playmaker, and crafty with and without the ball. He’s going to be great
The genius pat Riley 😮
He is gonna help us get the chip
Haven't watched alot of heat games but this guy moves like Luka in way as to say he looks like hes moving slow yet it seems like his playmaking is very fast along with his footwork.
He a start and i think he will take over the team sooner then later
His basket IQ is up there for a Rookie. Cant wait for the playoffs. 😊
Jaime is definitely putting in the work to be the top rookie. He contributes with scoring, rebounds, defense and helps the team play as a unit. I enjoy watching Miami games because they really make it a team effort. No super stars.
I am a Lakers / USC basketball fan, I remember watching Jaquez @UCLA year after year exceed expectations. I wanted the Lakers to draft him bad, we took Hood - Schifino with the 17th pick and I remember saying to myself “Maybe I’m crazy but I don’t think taking Jaquez @ 17 was too high”, with the VERY NEXT PICK, *THE* Miami Heat made a very smart pick. Look at how it is working out. He is contributing in a very big way on a team that, as usual, year after year, exceeds expectations. #BasketballFanMoreThanALakersFan
He’s growing in to a great player,maybe the next face of the heat player
I think he’s a real sleeper for ROTY. Chet is clearly the favorite, but if JJ can raise his average to 19-21 ppg on his efficiency we could be having a conversation. Because defensively he’s no slouch either. Both guys look like 2 way all stars either way.
The future of the Miami Heat great video bro
He looks like he could run up to you and say “My name is Iñigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die”.
😂😂😂😂😂
At the time you publish this video he is the 29th players in NBA for the FG% this season. This is just incredible for a rookie with more than 10 ppg
Man he is a Dogo Argentino under the ring. Can’t never have enough of that in any team. A lot of times the shooting sucks and you just need someone to attack the ring.
TH, JJJ, DR and BA!!! ceazy future
Still can’t believe that the Lakers passed up on him for Hood-Schifino. JJJ in top 3 ROTY voting while Hood-Schifino is currently injured or in the G-League smh
Miami will win the east again maybe even win the chip
❤
Exactly 💯
Really good rook. Should be ready come playoff time.
Glad he’s with us in Miami
And he's so efficient!!
Yes he is the best player drafted since Dwyane Wade no doubt about it
😎🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Ma boi JJJ
Let's goooo Heat
iron sharpens iron. Jaime going against Butler in practice just makes him even more experienced.
ROY in my opinion
He’s what Adam Morrison should of been on his rookie year.
John Wick Jacquez Jr.
He scores more in the NBA than college. Crazy
Portland front office punching air right now now😂
Top 5 in rookie of the year rankings at least
3rd.
For some reason when heat got him Ik they had their guy
JJJ mom is a baddie
agreed he is the best rokie since wade we drafted bam and hero they are great but they werent as polished as rookies all i know is the heat are by far the best scouters in the game they know young talent
Jaquez possible NBA Rookie/MVP of the year!
Rookie of the year Jamie Jaqueline jr.
At the very worse, he’s a 15 ppg type player who plays solid defense.
Damn, elite company indeed.
But the heath culture was the best option for a player like him, a true worker. Great match!
impressive video. nice detailed look. thanks
He's a pump maestro.
that's why many teams need to take best players of college not only freshmen
Kluv is the one teaching him,, Luv is an all-star with rings....bruh miami got sum chill vets in house
Rookie of the year???
I thought Chet may have that on lock but I didnt knkw this guy was that nice. Is he number 2 rookie???
Nice fit for Miami, pat knows how to spot talent.
2:22 these micro records are getting out hand man😭😭
Great video.
Another lesson from Mr Riley
Lakers missed him by 1 and that’s the biggest burn this season
Portland should’ve taken that trade
Cronin is an idiot
the next goat
Tbh I was bias cause we needed a big man 😔 then I started watching him I'm like wow he can vall
I agree wholeheartedly, the brotha can vall.
He can VALL but we need it a big man for a long time already.
his isolation offense reminds me a bit of Luka Doncic.
He may never become the superstar offensive player like Luka...
but he can become a more well rounded offensive player in the sense of off-ball movement.
The guy is going to be great for a long time.
Luka is the first option to go for the Mavs. He is not even the fourth for the Heat. You got Buckets, Bam and Herro before he would get his chance. So, JJJ putting that kind of numbers in that offense is incredible. Can’t compare him with Luka.
.....so this is why Cam Rising didn't play for Utah he was in Miami lol
This dude is my 2k myplayer as a rookie. Great post touch for a 6'6 player which is super underrared for medium sized players. He can do everything on the court. Hes strong, solid, and smart.
JJJ is a very very very good team player with superstar IQ and ability.
Not may we did
miami have the perfect "new haslem"
Na he’s nice asf🤣🤣🤣
He and Podz are guys who play like sophomores.
We are one power forward away from championship run …
more likely than not he'll make all-star games
Holmgren has the best TS% for rookies
Trailblazers owners looking at their GM like 😒.. You could've had this guy, Tyler herro, Jovic and some picks for Dame but you didn't think they were good enough???? Trailblazers should look for a new GM
Pat Riley didn't really want dame
Agree
Just wanna say, sometimes, the "vets" who have been in the league for like what? 5, 10, 15 years? Sometimes, they just ignore the rookies. They're like "oh im not guarding you, you make that shot, i dont care" But damn, if you're a decent vet, you will give it your all. If that rookie made a shot even if u defended him, he's gonna feel good abt himself - and if you block him or steal the ball from him - i bet that rookie is still gonna feel good abt himself, bcos u know, as a rookie, u look upto all the vets. Damn vets, you were once a rookie, too.
I cant beleive the Raps took Gradey Dick over Jaquez. I know in hindsight it's harder to tell but this guy is an all around player, hes big and can shoot the 3 with crazy footwork.
I know the Raps needed shooters but fuck me, we need guys that can ball and not be 1 dimensional. Everybody gets lost in this 3 to win era, instead if getting straight up ballers like Jaquez.
Jaime pronounced Hai - meh not Hame
Veterans move by triple JJJ...
Bird gang over here 😂
Maybe Wemby and Chet are both incredibly good rooks, but I'll take Jaquez Jr. all dayyy 🙌🙌🙌
i don’t care that this has nothing to do with him but pat riley has sacrificed his soul to the devil to permanently stay in title contention
Wtf???
Future Spur 🔥🔥🔥
My friend and I have a nickname for him Triple J
Soy mexicano esa es mi bandera 🇲🇽💪🏽 he plays for the Mexican team and by law he is Mexican please don’t comment below he was born in Cali I know.
Once he leave the heat, his career would be over
Like lebron
He plays more like pascal siakam, not jimmyB
🔥
🙏
TRIPLE J ON TOP
🇲🇽🔥
JJJ to the Lakers please 😂
every Heat Lillard trade post on youtube wanted to throw in this guy for a 34 year aging guard. They look silly now. and the ghoul sports media until now STILL thinks Jimmy and Bam need a "third superstar". Well, Tyl and J3 shut them up for now. 30 points for a rookie is Wemby and Chet territory. If those 2 didnt exist, J3 is ROY frontrunner.
Heat didn't want dame
Triple J présents a triple threat
Is wemby still out? If he is jaime can take the advantage of being the 2nd best behind chet
I know Portland is kicking themselves right now lol
He's proof that you don't need to be athletic to be successful in the league.
Nikola Jovic will be better than Joel embid by 26
Tripple j
You coulda googled how to pronounce Jaime
