It's legit like having 2 Jimmy Butlers
viva la raza!!🇲🇽🇺🇸
This guy is better than Adam Morrison
🇲🇽
Who?
Idk how or who they going to trade but for some reason I thing Jordan Clarkson would fit right for Miami especially if he can’t stay consistent and healthy
This dude has a better postgame than most centers!
Triple J is the Spin Doctor down low with these post moves
This guy plays lke a 10 year vt. he quietly gets 31 points with great fundementals and hi basketball IQ (this is what is missing in so many uber-athletic young NBA players) They just jump out the gym with no other skillsets (footwork, body leverage, off ball movement, defense,etc)
Jaime has a very old school game…🔥🔥 It's just straight fundamentals. He definitely practiced every single move and you can tell.. especially his fastbreak, behind the back stops, he does often 💯
Jimmy Butler said Jaquez can do things that he couldn't do in his Rookie year. Think about that for a second 😳. Miami going into the playoffs this season with Two Jimmy Butlers 😎
Mr. Suave in the groove again 😂
Boy putting MEXICO 🇲🇽 name on top, making us proud ❤
I thought Jimmy was out this game?
Sport analyst Monica your voice is 😖😬
Rookie my a55, the Heats is trying to fool the league, this dude is destroying seasoned NBA players with his high IQ plays and control the game like a veteran. Btw, his game is going to age well as he doesn’t rely on athleticism or extreme physical attributes which usually doesn’t age well.
ORGULLO MEXICANO 🇲🇽
Biggest steal of the draft, future all star and face of the league
Rico Hines on the 76ers bench upset every basket Jaime hits but deep down after 4 years of UCLA runs with Hines, I’m sure Rico proud of him at the same time. Wish my Pacers could have found a way to grab Jaime Jacquez cause bro just knows how to play beautiful / savvy bball. Perfect Miami guy definitely but let’s be honest might be one of the few players that would’ve carved out a role on any team, he’s that smart.
Im so glad this dude gets Jimmy as a vet
Younger version of Manu Ginobili
He really is the Mexican Jimmy Butler.
Dude looks like he's been playing with the Heat for at least over a year 😂 i hope they can get it done this season or at least have a deep run again
He only dropped this many pts cuz Embiid wasn’t playin
🇲🇽❤️
Fundamentally sound
UCLA BRUINS 4 LIFE.
Bro averaging 14 on 50% shooting Miami got a steal as always
I love watching these underrated players thrive.
Half his shots are from simple cuts. This guy is such a high IQ player.
Mini Jimmy Butler is ballin, I love how he plays, he's a confident player, definitely discipline
I'm not crazy for thinking about Pau Pierce whenever I see this dude play, am I?
I didn't expect much from JJJ but boy has he surprised me a lot!!!
Y’all gotta remember he’s a rookie next season everyone will have tape on him he looks like a good third option at best and he’s 22 he should know how to pick his spots that alone should have him average 16 points this season on this unselfish Miami heat team
Nice find by the Heat. He plays hard on both ends of the court and his game already looks like a mature NBA veteran with all star potential.
If I was an NBA Player, I would want to be in the Miami Heat team. Imagine a team full of dogs. That will sharpen you and make a dog out of you too
For my own opinion he is the best Rookie 2023.
Goodluck JJJ
Can you just imagine portland almost having him and herro and some draft picks for Lillard? What's the general opinion of portland fans on this almost what if?
Thank god Portland didnt take the deal, Miami's future looks bright.
the Roy
His fake moves got several players including james🔥💪😄
Jaime Jaquez Jr is definitely so far rookie of the year
Triple J might be rookie of the year playing like superstar🔥🔥🥵
Full speed behind the back to a pump fake floater in the paint🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kylo Ren has been on fire!
On offense he looks like Kawhi. No wasted movement/dribbling. Can get to his spots
This dude is sick
