[@reinnardabalos8817]

I love the observation. ❤

[@TheFrostyMan21]

"clearly a push" as he doesnt touch him at all and cleanly destroyed mans ankles. makes me happy i have good unbiased announcers in Minnesota.

[@TailWagger_Jaggers]

They were talking about the MJ push in Utah to win his 6 ring. The announcers were saying he didn't push off like MJ did.

Being Mexican, super proud of this guy since UCLA days. Im a UCLA grad too so makes it even better. Buying his jersey.

How did Lakers miss out on a Hometown guy

Oh your not American but just living here? That’s so awesome

[@eabruin15]

Being of my descent I'll never be fully accepted in white american society, I've accepted this as a fact and I'm cool with it. Every race is still very racist people just hide it very well these days. So I don't really try too hard to be friends with people of other races who are men but my own. And we thrive in doing that instead of dealing with people from other races who, without knowing, will never include you as as one of them. @@philmccracken179

Unfortunately, you can only get ROY if your team is bad. If JJJ wasn't on the Heat with Jimmy ahead of him, he could average near 20.

What a steal by Miami. Incredible rookie

[@blitztim6416]

JJJ has stepped up his game in the NBA. Dude’s not intimidated at all.

[@aaronfaye2311]

4 years of Cronin will do that. It takes a special kind of person to be able to withstand it. JJJ is a byproduct of Cronin.

[@DinoBlaxx]

Coming from a magic fan. I have to give him his props he balling lights out. With Wemby and Chet hype. He takes rookie of the month that is impressive.

[@cmnweb]

Que chingón que la este rompiendo en la NBA, trae una mentalidad muy fuerte.

[@darknaijel]

Got a strong Butler feeling from him. Hope this kid will be as good as Jimmy in PO

[@dantelaxamana1149]

JJJ executes the play with the right timing. Can do a lot in every game. Bless you, man.

[@jennrodrigu]

His passing & vision makes him so much more interesting to watch for sure because he creates opportunities for everyone. A player who can score like that & see the court like that will be a huge help for the Heat.

[@mentalprograming5365]

baby manu ginobili

[@vanvan8243]

It’s funny and crazy. He is as athletic as he need to be, very good defensively. Shoot good at the free throw line. Great 3pt shooter, Rebounds, Playmakes, I mean the kid can do it all. What the hell did the Miami Heat draft? 🤯

JAQUEZ HASNT EVEN EXPLODED YET😅😅

[@michaell1285]

I see the shadow of Jimmy

[@bournedevinesupreme]

If you watched him at UCLA, it was obvious his skill set would translate well to the pro level. Probably would've been a lottery pick if it weren't for his age. Most NBA teams are still afraid to take chances on players who are slightly older even if they're more NBA ready. I think he could be a slightly lesser Brandon Roy calibre player but without the degenerative knee issues.

[@DMary27]

Good analysis but no, he can be much better than Brandon Roy. They put a cap on Jimmy’s abilities, Bam’s, Wade’s. You should know better than to try to find this kids ceiling, he’s barely even attempted creating his own shot yet. High IQ player, makes the right play Great passer Soft touch around the rim Great finisher Plays through contact Great hops, good rebounder Impeccable footwork Tough physical defense Unselfish and disciplined I beleive he can be and will be a top 10 player one day personally

[@bournedevinesupreme]

@@DMary27 That's a good point. Some players just have more drive and determination to continue improving. Butler is actually a great comparison. Jaquez doesn't seem like the kind of player who is just happy to be in the league so he can bang Instagram models. Plus, Miami is arguably the best team to be in as far as player development.

[@henrywilliams2379]
