He is getting better i like him being in summer league for better improvement and be ready for his second year, the next beast of miami heat!
If Jaime can consistently knock down the three he should probably be the starting 2 guard in the backcourt with Rozier. Or Duncan should start and Jaime should be on the court late in the 4th quarter of close games.
