This is what happens when you have an intelligent, skilled player who spends four years in college learning the game with serious coaches....instead of going one-and-done. He doesn't play like most NBA rookies, because he's spent those years learning, training, and playing to develop himself.....and his success comes as no surprise to fans of UCLA.

[@charltom4053]

Staying in college and programming your game to the college level is stupid and doesn’t translate well. He’s a exception and exceptions don’t make the rule. Most players who stay longer tend to struggle transitioning to the next level

[@Lucas-ElijahSadiq]

word. imagine if we nixed college ball and made g league more of a priority for development!

[@ilikehardplay]

@@charltom4053: That's very much a question of player drive and coaching.... Sure, a gifted player can take the diva turns for years and not improve....and get flattened when he gets to the NBA. But a college coach who instills discipline, insists that every player works hard, learns the game, & plays both ways as a part of a team, and works on skills that directly translate is golden. And players that put in the time studying film, and the reps in practice, in games, as well as on the track and in the weight room...are going to do a lot more for themselves than playing big man on campus and social media. Jaime didn't "program his game to the college level," He worked on fundamentals that build the foundation for playing at the next level. Yeah, he's got a lot to learn...but he and coach Cronin already prepared him to know HOW to learn, and put in the effort to do that learning.

[@user-io4sr7vg1v]

Yeah but the players that do well typically do not play like rookies, it just gets hyped up when its a guy that has played four years. Jaime is good because Jaime is good. At least that's how I see it.

[@3GR7]

agree, he is mature already and ready to compete

[@milo963]

I watched him all the way through college and his NBA success is no surprise.

[@thomassharer8453]

Exactly. Still upset my Lakers didn’t snag him.

[@luigirox8]

Loved watching him & tyger at ucla 💛💙

[@KaspRoc]

pls tell me more...can he becomes an all star?

[@milo963]

@@KaspRoc I have no idea, he's family so I watch and support. He's excelled at every level so far.

[@LrnDog]

Same

[@jakob4325]

You just made me a Jaquez fan. Love these intelligent players who can really read the court

[@thekidshere6955]

He’s really fun to watch!

[@hangeulharmony143]

jokic IQ + jimmy play style = Jaquez

[@chaunceywade7293]

More like Jimmy IQ Hence why he plays like Jimmy

[@robinshaul4069]

They were sipping tea at Jimmy's house❤❤❤❤❤

[@JigzS]

Jaquez has been my favorite rookie to watch this season, even more than Chet and Wemby by a mile. He fits in so seemlessly with the Heat and is the perfect player for a coach like Spo. I love how the Heat put their trust in him to play in late game situations as well. He's easily in my top 5 favorite players in the NBA right now, along with DRose, Jimmy, Jokic, and Caruso.

[@mentalprograming5365]

same here.. this guy is young manu

[@Cashmoneez]

Ik he would get real minutes on the heat but damn they really giving him a lot of agency for a rookie and he deserves it

[@tatteredprince2097]

Wow. After Justise Wins are low, unprecious akachiuwa and Kz not ok pala. We finally get a get a good role player in this kid. Let's go heat!

[@LuhJay3]

Kz was good, needed more chances

[@joecesh]

Kid's a like's a replica of Jimmy. Miami's future is secured.

[@Cryptech1010]

Kinda hard not to play him when he's good at almost everything. He's extremely versatile.

[@joecesh]

@@Cryptech1010 might see him start as PG cause why not. He plays well with anyone

[@itsjusttap3010]

Nice to see more peeps noticing our hidden gem

[@theiconicmoments02]

The first time I saw him play in a heat uniform and given minutes. I already knew that they really saw something in JJJr. Because Miami is not known to play rookie for extended minutes. But after Herro went down yet again, JJJr is always playing the entirety of the 4th as a closer. Thats trust and building your future superstar that JB would pass the Baton to.

[@robinshaul4069]

Can you imagine getting the championship your first year,and a trophy for pat Riley would be a blessing❤❤❤❤

[@Cryptech1010]

Great video, but I think Jaimes' defense is even better than his offense. He also has great footwork. He really doesn't have a weakness except that he's an average 3 point shooter, and isn't the fastest player. Kinda like a budget Jimmt Butler.

[@georgeguerra2461]

I think he has potential to peak at a jimmy butler type level. What he lacks in Jimmys level of quickness/athleticism he will make up for in shooting. He’s definitely a better playmaker. It took Jimmy until 30-31 to be a good playmaker and even then it’s more of his gravity I think jaquez has better vision.

[@dathunderman4]

Budget jimmy butler? Jaime has potential to be an all-star.

[@malooch]

He’s the embodiment of “stay in school”

[@JonathanBeltran]

Well done, what an awesome video. Seeing all these early season clips strung out together with your analysis really captures Jaime' s ELITE basketball IQ. Not the typical rookie indeed! Always thinking ahead and executing heads up plays left and right.

[@thekidshere6955]

Much Appreciation

[@Jylstin]

As a Heat Fan i was so excited and worried he would become like a Precious Achiuwa but its not the case. The way he plays is so fun to watch and one of my fav style of players in the NBA with that Jimmy Butler esk Two-way playmaking Wing🔥

[@strolljapan]

this guy is not lightning quick but reminds me of little tastes of Doncic, Turkoglu, Frantz Wagner or Tony Kukoc. has good feel for the game, good at play making from forward position, has nice basketball IQ.

[@neneolivares6743]

Mexican royalty !

[@wesrod]

Great video. Never heard of u before today, kinda sad the algorythm didnt bring ur vids my way before. Cant wait for some more thanks for the entertainment

[@sieglines]

gonna need another vid to talk about his defense

[@michaelgeraghty3989]

We loved watching him at UCLA. He comes from a great family - he won't lose his perspective as his success as a pro increases.

[@joshuat6124]

Great video!

[@le9856]

Awesome video bro

[@HelloooBruceee]

Brooo I needed this laugh holy shot ty Ty griffy

[@562fooo7]

good job Lakers not picking the local kid

[@robinshaul4069]

Pat Riley has 9 rings,there's a reason for this❤❤❤

[@Diakamawatane]

Has some Ginobili and Hayward in his game. Not a bad career trajectory

[@vinnykicks7352]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏

[@Jonesmalone562]

He is my favorite rookie. I am not a Heat fan at all, but he is a player!

[@franksterkb891]

it's " high-meh "

[@kishanwinston341]

As a heat fan i love jaime game 💯 boi got heart

[@robinshaul4069]

Our Spanish culture wonderful get the chip,❤❤❤❤heat NATION ❤❤❤

[@mikemeiring6710]

He obviously has brains along with good skills, looking forward to seeing his career

[@space3058]

Disappointed off season??? To who??Real heat fans was never disappointed we just came from the nba finals

[@dred9174]

He's like a Jimmy Butler clone.

[@brianwoods9552]

Watched Jaquez all four years at UCLA. I liken him to an OG playing pickup hoops. Although younger guys can run up and down the court faster, an OG is still a valuable player on any team because he understands fundamentals (i.e. he'll find ways to neutralize an opponent's strengths).

[@anturagen]

What a move 🎉

[@commandertoothpick8284]

Surprised lakers didnt get him, considering how good lakers scouting team is

[@renatoruiz8534]

Lebron didn't want him.

[@user-xr7ld2zx1m]

This roookie player like 90s style.❤😊

[@user-qn9gs2jt8b]

He reminds me Doncic & Booker

[@cannedpineapple2702]

As a Heat fan, I knew having 2 Jimmy Buters on the team would be a good thing.

[@Atyen7a]

I can’t be the only one that think he feels like a jimmy butlerish player especially how he’s great on offense and even better in defense it’s a perfect balance in a player

[@renatoruiz8534]

Its pronounced"HIGH-meh." Other than that, good vid.

[@edwardodizon4789]

Just remember Mike Miller on him....😅

[@AMACHiiBiong]

The Jordan McDonald male twin 😂🤤🥲

[@JeromeMorada]

he's like jimmy

Kame Jaime Jaquez!!

Reminds me of Manu

[@ricardogonzalez1894]

Miami Heats looks like a drifting ship, a chicken without a head.

[@Finnsup]

Im a Heat fan now but USED to love Showtime until LeDiva ruined d Lakers to the point of not drafting a local kid that EVERYONE in LA wanted them to draft. How in the world the Laskers didnt get him is beyond me. Thanks from a former Laker fan.

[@mentalprograming5365]

Manu ginobili reincarnated

[@thefourthchairman4151]

He looks like Adam Driver

Jaime is pronounce as Hayme not Hamey

Hamee hamee haaaaaaaaa

[@Bert_Fromarketin]

He can hoop...shouts to UCLA ..hope my niece and her squad win pac 12

[@jaysabz7775]

His basketball IQ is off the charts. He will be one of the top 10 players in 5 years time. Take a look at what Donovan Mitchell did.

[@hmdavid13]

Appreciate your correct pronunciation please, it's Jaime not Jamie. Jaquez it's all right 👍🏼

[@glovs4188]

Hame. Lol. Its read as high meh.

[@JetEngine85]

It's Hi-meh

[@RejectHumanityReturn2Monke]

It's Hi (as in saying Hi (hello)) then meh (like meh, don't give af). Hi-Meh.

[@mjwittheflu7875]

Because he the oldest rookie this year lol

[@Ace-sd2ez]

basketball jesus

[@erikscream]

The only time he needed to score 12 point he only scored 5. In my eyes he sucks, he lost me money

[@mattwoo556]

Good thing no one but u gives a fuck about your bets

[@justinholland6132]

lol no offense but why u betting on a rookie like him anyway especially doing the over on points

[@fredymendez855]

Gamblers are dingleberrys y’all don’t even like the sport anymore. People who gamble literally will watch like 4 or 5 games pretending they have an actual team to support. It’s called addiction seek help

[@erikscream]

@@justinholland6132 he should’ve been able to do it ez.

[@ryansproviero]

You mean the only time "you" needed him to score 12 points. Go to a meeting before your gambling addiction gets worse. Good luck.
