Heat forward Jaime Jaquez was considered the steal of the 2023 NBA draft. He was among the top rookies of the class, but it was followed with a sophomore slump. After struggling in Year No. 2, Jaquez is hoping to bounce back.
SPO TALKS JAIME JAQUEZ IMPROVEMENT
Coach Erik Spoelstra said Jaquez needs to go back to what made him a breakout rookie.
"He's a downhill guy," Spoelstra said while speaking with reporters at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. "He's aggressive. He's crafty, he's clever. Now, it's about making the paint-decision reads."
Spoelstra hinted Jaquez may have emphasized the 3-point shot too much. They want him to get back to playing as an energy, intangibles guy while scoring off drives to the basket.
"I don't want it to be his whole game based on whether he's making the three-point shot," Spoelstra said. "That's not him at his best. Him at his best are the plays that are unscripted...Now, he has to make complex decisions when the help is there."
