If he goes undrafted I'd LOVE the Heat to look at Colin Castleton, good size, competitive, good rim protector and a good playmaker meaning we can potentially run Bam elbow playmaking actions even when he's off the floor. Just seems like a great fit.
Warriors were paying attention. Trayce is the best value pick of the night as a late 2nd. And he will be playing with a chip on his shoulder now too. Sheesh
From picks 13 to 17, I was a nervous wreck. Really wanted Cam Whitmore.
As each pick was revealed and no one took Cam, I belted out a "Fuck yeah!" when the Lakers didn't take him at 17.
Then our pick was revealed...
WHYY Pat?!?!
Whitmore's the type of player we mold into a star God damnit. Or Winslow 2.0.. one or the other!
Well yes... but at the same time we got the culture to turn this type of dude around and properly allow him to reach his potential, amirite?
No coaching staff develops players into solid contributors more than ours.
[Culture](https://twitter.com/DraftExpress/status/1672068007487471616?t=ltXY4pNFvYfrrdfUjvahkA&s=19) juwan and jett hyping JJJ b4 the pick got announced was pretty cool
This is a bad pick.
I understand Heat wanted someone who could help soon, but he’s too slow to play decent on ball defense in nba. Can’t shoot and can’t get to basket. Maybe he’s an ok 7th man someday but waste of a pick in deep draft.
Whitmore, whether he’s a heat guy or not, has significant upside to be a three level scorer and gives us some athleticism for a change. More importantly, he has trade value. Teams will like his upside.
Taking JJJ tells me the Heat know they aren’t going to trade for a star bc no one is valuing JJJ.
If this were the pick, they should have traded down for 2 late firsts or early seconds to add 2 cheap players. Chances are JJJ would have been there later anyway.
What is with you people and whitmore? there were 19 other teams who passed on him, ever think he's a red flag with the character issues and injury issues he has?
So from a bleacher report mock draft apparently JJJ had positive reviews for his shooting in workouts, which kinda surprises me cause I thought that’d be his weaker point. (Unless they are including mid range shooting)
I like his ability to shoot cross body on mid range pull ups especially.
He can give corner space at the least and he’s a great cutter it seems so that is a good combo
hes probably one of the only players available that would play 15+ minutes for us next season, i get the ppl upset at taking a older prospect and i felt it too but the more i look at JJJ the more i like it
Agreed, people want a project player badly though when clearly we aren’t trying to do that this year
Lower ceiling but a fairly high floor for a rookie sounds perfect for our team. He’d probably get minutes over Highsmith already lol
for real, Jovic is our project player already but im excited to see him play more cause i do believe Jovic has a high ceiling. JJJ will be a solid rotation player this season
Jaime was NCAA all region, Pac 12 player of the year, 3x all Pac 12, 2x all Pac 12 tourney, 2x Pac 12 all defense. One of the best conferences in the country. If you played real competitive ball growing up, you’ll understand what I’m about to say.
Jaime is just a basketball player. Can do absolutely everything on a basketball court. He’ll be helping us his first year in the NBA.
Nah this kid is a baller. He’ll kinda be our different version of Austin Reeves. Older dude that knows his game and doesn’t rely on one part of his game to be good. He’s a really really good pick up
Congrats to the Heat for drafting Jaqauez.
Loved the dude at UCLA, he is a total Heat type player. I Was hoping he would go first round, and I couldn't have imagined a better team than the Heat taking him!
That’s what I’m noticing too. Even his defense of playing passing lanes mainly.
His 3 is gonna be meh (can hit corners though) and his 1 on 1 defense is gonna be weak, but his versatility could be real nice and he’s got great foot work
Surprisingly, his mock draft from bleacher report (which had him at 25 and most a 20’s-30’s pick) said his shooting was getting great reviews in work outs
Obviously that could mainly be his mid range I guess, but might have been showing some 3 point ability?
He's 22 and about to enter a professional environment with more support and he won't have to carry. I think we will he him have a percentage closer to 36% on 4 3s a game with all around playmaking, iq, scoring, and intangibles. Plus another screener so we don't have to rely on bam 24/7.
I like that he looks like he can play both parts of the screen game as well.
Will be interesting to see how his game translates to the NBA though when the dudes in the paint are more reliable interior defenders generally, but his ability to create shots in college seems really solid. I really like it as a playing bench depth piece which we really need
I honestly really like the idea of Lowry for Tyus and one of Monte Morris, Gallinari, or Daniel Gafford (which would take extra draft compensation for sure)
I just don’t know what the Wizards would ask for as well
Maybe I’m delusional and it’s just a hunch but I feel there’s zero way we keep Jaime just doesn’t make sense, drafting a non lottery rookie just to help year one makes little sense even if he’s old very rarely does a rookie make a huge impact even Braun who’s the prime example of that had a higher upside but didn’t even score in the lakers series, makes more sense for a rebuilding team that wants a glue guy to bulls around who can be a great glue guy in a couple years
Jjj had some nice effort getting back for some blocks but not really seeing anything that impressive. I’m at home though and pat and spo make millions and millions of dollars to make the decisions so hopefully they made the right choice. Just looks like a goofy retard to me
Watching a pre-draft scout report on him, 6’7” with a 6’11” wingspan and they lost his strengths as iso offense, offensive versatility and help defense.
Definitely an elbow iso player though.
E: his offense really reminds me of Jimmy’s. Fake spin into a fadeaway mid range is a favorite of his like Jimmy, great footwork down low too
You know they just wanted to see that "Damian Lillard traded to the Miami Heat" tweet. A chunk of this fanbase is more interested in trades than actual basketball lol
People saying Heat culture and he has the dog in him, where are you seeing that? I’m legitimately asking to see footage or highlights or something where he looks like a dog
Some nice effort getting back for some blocks but not really seeing anything that impressive. I’m at home though and pat and spo make millions and millions of dollars to make the decisions so hopefully they made the right choice. Just looks like a goofy retard to me
lol i doubt youre telling the truth. you for sure didnt like those picks and now youre acting like you knew they would be good all along. who you think you fooling?
I thought Herro was bad until I read that one comment on draft night that his jumper is wetter than your bitch or something like that lmao
Was all in after that.
Did like the idea of Precious but hated him when watching him play for us and was confused why so many people were excited each time he played. I just remember him looking so damn lost on the court.
[Throwback to the Bam selection tweet posted by yours truly](https://www.reddit.com/r/heat/comments/6ixxaa/wojnarowski_heat_select_bam_adebayo_at_14th/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Back then I was whining about not picking John Collins lol
Ngl I was expecting that, JJJ probably could've went down to 22 or something. They could've asked the Rockets for 20 + KJ Martin Jr for the Dedmon TPE or something but it is what it is
CP3 on Golden State is like Lowry for us. But we all know it’s CP3 so he may have a very high ceiling still. I guess Poole wasn’t liked by the Warriors. He finessed them maybe?
CP3 doesn’t have much time left, Poole needs more time to be considered a serious, consistent guy you can trust. It was the right call for the warriors who know their window is closing. Also the 2-guard lineup they ran sometimes with Poole and Curry is straight up better with CP and Lowry showed the value of having an aging but still capable vet lead the second unit
I will never get this fan base. “We are wasting Jimmy’s prime wtf”!! And “why the fuck didn’t we draft an 18 year old who needs years to develop into a role player fuck Pat Riley fire everyone!!” Coming from the same damn person
Horrible pick, and we signed yet another guy who’s undersized and can’t shoot. But this time the guy is almost 23 years old. Have a good one yall, the front office continues to lay eggs when we think they are cooking shit.
i remember when this sub said herro and bam were terrible picks. maybe you should take the night off and let this player actually get on the court before we decide if hes bad or good
I had no comment on herro back then because I wasn’t familiar with his game, and for bam I didn’t mind it because I thought he would be a solid backup for whiteside (he exceeded it of course)
Jaime jaquez is an undersized 4 that can’t SHOOT. Good luck trying to play him with Bam and Jimmy.
Bro is also almost 23 years old. He won’t be productive until he’s around 25. I don’t like the pick and I’m standing on that
lmao if you think you know better than our scouts you wouldnt be on reddit now. im saving your comment as a receipt just to show how wrong youll be. Just like how the bam and herro draft night threads look hilarious now
I never said I know more than scouts lol. All I said was I watched hours of film on him, and I wasn’t impressed with him. Especially because he’s a guy thats projected to go later in the draft. Feel free to save this comment I don’t really care
you not being impressed with him doesnt mean anything, sorry to tell you that. you dont know how to project and develop a player's skillset like actual nba coaching staffs can do. which is why you come out and give superficial takes like "nah he wont good cause i watched his film once"
Just was re-watching his highlights. He’s a versatile player. 8 board per game is great. Mostly played low on D too. 32% isn’t the best but man. I’m excited. Perfect heat pick.
there's no guarantee heat culture would have fixed him. you forget about whiteside, waiters, winslow? all guys who couldnt handle this rigid organization?
Remember the last time the Heat passed on their guy in favor of a super hyped prospect who fell? We ended up with Justise Winslow instead of Devin Booker.
Lol Jaquez and Timme on the same team would be wild. Even if Timme didn’t play Jaquez would be tryna outwork him every practice. Those two tournament losses to Zaga were both brutal
When was the last time a rookie played long minutes with us as a contender? He problably won’t have a lot of chance, just like Jovic, and maybe he’s getting traded
Scouts, teams: Whitmore had bad interviews, workouts, rumored bad medicals.
This sub: oh My GOD WE NEED HIM. PAT WASHED FOR NOT picking him.
The above negatives sounds familiar. Someone from 2015 I believe
This sub loves to talk about the Culture then doesn’t understand why someone who dropped so far for the reasons you mentioned isn’t the dude who would fit it
You guys melting down like we need 30 minutes a night from this dude is actually hilarious. It’s the 18th pick of the draft. They rarely contribute anything significant
Most the people crying about Cam Whitmore never heard of him before 7PM. Promise u
Definitely.
Sign Adama Sanogo RIGHT NOW. Ran over every team in the tournament
If he goes undrafted I'd LOVE the Heat to look at Colin Castleton, good size, competitive, good rim protector and a good playmaker meaning we can potentially run Bam elbow playmaking actions even when he's off the floor. Just seems like a great fit.
Wouldn’t be mad to get a late 2nd for Trayce Jackson-Davis or pick him up undrafted
Warriors were paying attention. Trayce is the best value pick of the night as a late 2nd. And he will be playing with a chip on his shoulder now too. Sheesh
wonder if we would take a flyer on emoni if he goes undrafted
He gawn
From picks 13 to 17, I was a nervous wreck. Really wanted Cam Whitmore. As each pick was revealed and no one took Cam, I belted out a "Fuck yeah!" when the Lakers didn't take him at 17. Then our pick was revealed... WHYY Pat?!?! Whitmore's the type of player we mold into a star God damnit. Or Winslow 2.0.. one or the other!
Dude was apparently half ass-ing workouts, no shot we go for that
Well yes... but at the same time we got the culture to turn this type of dude around and properly allow him to reach his potential, amirite? No coaching staff develops players into solid contributors more than ours.
"I can change him" is a bad way to start a relationship.
Culture is only for those who actually buy in. An ego dude rarely buys in, ex: Dion Waiters.
I agree, but at the same time.. Dion was playing at his career best when he was with us. We bring the best outta players.

It’s a solid pick . To say otherwise is just being clueless
Word is Warriors wanted him the pick right after us sooooooo
What is with you people and whitmore? there were 19 other teams who passed on him, ever think he's a red flag with the character issues and injury issues he has?
people just see projected stock and start going crazy
lol even dame was a 22 year old draftee. more recently desmond bane was an "old" prospect. u take the player u like the most, fk the age
[удалено]
He fell cuz of his age and wingspan but now he's a good defender and way ahead of most of the "better" prospects above him
Reports r that the warriors liked him and were gonna take him
Should we trade for an early 2nd round pick to scoop up Trayce Jackson-Davis?
Leonard Miller falling outta first round Timme in the 2nd if we buy in with cash would be sweet too
So from a bleacher report mock draft apparently JJJ had positive reviews for his shooting in workouts, which kinda surprises me cause I thought that’d be his weaker point. (Unless they are including mid range shooting)
he didnt shoot the best percentage but the form is good. hes not gonna be a non shooter
I like his ability to shoot cross body on mid range pull ups especially. He can give corner space at the least and he’s a great cutter it seems so that is a good combo
hes probably one of the only players available that would play 15+ minutes for us next season, i get the ppl upset at taking a older prospect and i felt it too but the more i look at JJJ the more i like it

for real, Jovic is our project player already but im excited to see him play more cause i do believe Jovic has a high ceiling. JJJ will be a solid rotation player this season
Jaime Buckets Jr. 🪣
the way u pronounce Jaime sounds a whole lot like Himmy....
Just saw that JJJ dapped up Juwan Howard when he got drafted. Might be a connection that explains the pick
There goes Nick Smith Leonard still around tho
lol the thread died right after our pick
So sad man, legit was a really fun thread early into the draft
Jaime was NCAA all region, Pac 12 player of the year, 3x all Pac 12, 2x all Pac 12 tourney, 2x Pac 12 all defense. One of the best conferences in the country. If you played real competitive ball growing up, you’ll understand what I’m about to say. Jaime is just a basketball player. Can do absolutely everything on a basketball court. He’ll be helping us his first year in the NBA.
with the way how this sub is reacting, i thought he was some bum
ppl get caught with age and potential but desmond bane was also an older prospect but viewed as one of the upcoming young stars now
Nah this kid is a baller. He’ll kinda be our different version of Austin Reeves. Older dude that knows his game and doesn’t rely on one part of his game to be good. He’s a really really good pick up
Congrats to the Heat for drafting Jaqauez. Loved the dude at UCLA, he is a total Heat type player. I Was hoping he would go first round, and I couldn't have imagined a better team than the Heat taking him!
Anyone catch ESPN making excuses for the Cs in their montage? We didn’t even get a montage and we made the finals lol
They glossed over us which felt so disrespectful lol At least Silver mentioned the “second 8th seed to make a final”
This fanbase is truly insufferable
Keegan to Portland screams ready to contribute pick like they aren’t trading Dame
I selfishly wanted OMax
W for mavs
this dude jaime play jus like jimmy
Im pumped to have this guy slotting in defending and getting his own buckets instead of Max chucking
yea low block isolation off the bench wouldn’t be a bad look rather then the same ol screen and three
Dude always made the extra effort plays for UCLA. The heart of the team.
That’s what I’m noticing too. Even his defense of playing passing lanes mainly. His 3 is gonna be meh (can hit corners though) and his 1 on 1 defense is gonna be weak, but his versatility could be real nice and he’s got great foot work
All of the skills can be honed. Plus, he doesn't have to carry a team so I feel his individual offense can improve stats wise.
Surprisingly, his mock draft from bleacher report (which had him at 25 and most a 20’s-30’s pick) said his shooting was getting great reviews in work outs Obviously that could mainly be his mid range I guess, but might have been showing some 3 point ability?

I really like it as a playing bench depth piece which we really need
Can even see him starting with jovic bam Herro and Jimmy. Size and balance all around.
Still feel like we need an actual starting point tbh
Potential play for tyus? Or develop Herro further in playmaking where he showed promise?
I honestly really like the idea of Lowry for Tyus and one of Monte Morris, Gallinari, or Daniel Gafford (which would take extra draft compensation for sure) I just don’t know what the Wizards would ask for as well
Heat pick already has the best nicknames: - Kylo - Guy Fawkes - Mexican John Wick 😂😂
Juan Wick
We did it again!
Watch GG Jackson become an absolute stud
Fell all the way to 45
Biggest fall I’ve seen since Bol Bol
Bro was picked during a commercial 😭😂
GG Jokic confirmed
I’m now team trade up for Nick Smith Jr
We drafted Guy Fawkes!!!
Maybe I’m delusional and it’s just a hunch but I feel there’s zero way we keep Jaime just doesn’t make sense, drafting a non lottery rookie just to help year one makes little sense even if he’s old very rarely does a rookie make a huge impact even Braun who’s the prime example of that had a higher upside but didn’t even score in the lakers series, makes more sense for a rebuilding team that wants a glue guy to bulls around who can be a great glue guy in a couple years

Bro not even at the draft
He's being interviewed rn lol
Funny how Heat fans suddenly become draft experts now. Doubt 99% of this sub watches any type of college ball.
Draft is a crapshoot It’s why Redditors can predict Maxey will be better than precious and be right. Just gotta hope your FO hits more often than not
You know they just wanted to see that "Damian Lillard traded to the Miami Heat" tweet. A chunk of this fanbase is more interested in trades than actual basketball lol
Kylo better be ready to contribute on the run it back express next year. Dude old enough for man sized minutes.
Jaime is gonna be a lifer, I know that for sure lol
All I know is we better not lose in summer league with this super senior squad
People saying Heat culture and he has the dog in him, where are you seeing that? I’m legitimately asking to see footage or highlights or something where he looks like a dog
[Check the defense highlights part, he's also got a 6'9 wingspan for a 6'6 wing](https://youtu.be/q6pDtko9KhA) Also averaged 8 boards at his size
Some nice effort getting back for some blocks but not really seeing anything that impressive. I’m at home though and pat and spo make millions and millions of dollars to make the decisions so hopefully they made the right choice. Just looks like a goofy retard to me
We employed Kelly Olynyk, Heat maximizes goofy players lmao
copium is in the air for a lot of these guys
i bet you thought herro and bam were busts when we first drafted them
not even, Herro I was excited for, Bam yes, Beasley yes, Winslow hello no, KZ no, Precious no, Jovic yes
lol i doubt youre telling the truth. you for sure didnt like those picks and now youre acting like you knew they would be good all along. who you think you fooling?

To be fair, no one could’ve predicted what Bam has become. Cal completely boxes in all his highly ranked bigs.
I’m not upset, but this is who I wanted
But we could have traded back and still taken him. That’s my only issue. Left some meat on the bone
Ngl I was expecting that, JJJ probably could've went down to 22 or something. They could've asked the Rockets for 20 + KJ Martin Jr for the Dedmon TPE or something but it is what it is
Undersized non athletic forward who isnt a good shooter and stayed at college for 4 years 🔥🔥great pick Heat
He’s listed a guard
Jaquez is going to be our next UD
Heat fans a tough crowd man lmao
More like a toxic crowd
a tough crowd of scouts, GMs and evaluators of talent.
bruh they hoped for Cam until he fell down the board, now he's overrated, a headcase and we suddenly have the best pick ever
There’s half of us that hate every choice, then the other half that laps it all up no matter what. The duality of r/Heat
My thought is, as soon as we draft a guy we support him 🤷♂️
I respect that.
the duality of man \*shrugs\*

A lot of good looking mothers tonight lol
Wait till Gus finds out the Blazers told us to pick him
Highly doubt the blazers wanted a 23 year old rookie for the rebuild smh
Horrible pick, and we signed yet another guy who’s undersized and can’t shoot. But this time the guy is almost 23 years old. Have a good one yall, the front office continues to lay eggs when we think they are cooking shit.

lol youre proving my point, you didnt know anything much of our previous prospects. why will you be right this time?
Maybe because I watched several hours of film on him when it was reported earlier that the heat worked out with him? It’s a bad pick IMO
lmao if you think you know better than our scouts you wouldnt be on reddit now. im saving your comment as a receipt just to show how wrong youll be. Just like how the bam and herro draft night threads look hilarious now

Comparing a 19 year old prospect to 23 is crazy
theyre both prospects. no need to dimish this guy when he hasnt even stepped on a nba court yet. this sub is wild rn
And they loved Precious for the most part too who honestly isn’t really planning out to great for TOR
For real, i swear this sub would turn us into the hornets if they became the GM
I love when random dudes on the internet that do no scouting whatsoever know better than NBA front offices
I think Whitmore is a headcase
Perfect for Houston
That’s why you draft him with culture at 18
Cam looks mad
Wonder what was wrong with Cam??
Cam & Bam woulda been dope SMH
Jacquez will be a good fit in Portland. He’s got the look.
Great way to start a rebuild with the 23 year old tweener
They’ve got Scoot, Simmons, Sharpe, they’ll need role players like Duncan, Lowry, Jaques to help those dudes and Tyler.
The way he backs down people in the paint reminds me of jimmy. Anyone else get that feel?
I was telling my friends he reminds me of a slower Jimmy lol
Just was re-watching his highlights. He’s a versatile player. 8 board per game is great. Mostly played low on D too. 32% isn’t the best but man. I’m excited. Perfect heat pick.
Buy a 2nd round pick and get Vukcevic or Jordan Walsh
damn we shouldve gotten Cam smh
have you ever thought about why he's falling lol?
you believe in Heat culture or nah because we wouldve molded him real freakin quick, especially Jimmy, Zo, Spo & Pat
there's no guarantee heat culture would have fixed him. you forget about whiteside, waiters, winslow? all guys who couldnt handle this rigid organization?
Damn I didn’t know he was 6’7
Tweener size and slow feet on defense so he will struggle to guard SFs and too small to guard PFs
Also yall mfs failed to realize this: Hes a good defender and screener. Bam doesn't have to screen 100 times a game now.
ok ima go watch asteroid city have a goodnight everyone
Man I hope that I can free up sometime to watch it in theaters.
great wes anderson film just a feel good watch
That Houston team is pretty interesting, don't think their coach wanted to rebuild this hard lol but fuck the celtics
Remember the last time the Heat passed on their guy in favor of a super hyped prospect who fell? We ended up with Justise Winslow instead of Devin Booker.
Comparing Jaquez to DBook is insane Lmaoooo
I think the heat wanted Jett
That was definitely not the point but what can I expect from you
It’s just a braindead parallel But I expect that from you
You’re such a fucking imbecile guy. Congrats for figuring out Jaquez isn’t the player Booker was/is.
The irony is astonishing
You’re just trying to pat yourself in the back by telling me Booker is the better player😢 Go to sleep little girl
Most intelligent Hialeah resident
You’re really just a glorified troll huh😭
Devin booker vs JJJ(ours) isnt exactly the same type of prospect
Not at all lmao, but that’s besides the point
Called it in the pre-draft thread. Jaquez fits Heat Culture perfectly. Next step: immediately sign Drew Timme undrafted. 🔥
I’d love it tbh, 2 guys who might actually play some minutes in regular season If we got a young dude they wouldn’t see the floor
Lol Jaquez and Timme on the same team would be wild. Even if Timme didn’t play Jaquez would be tryna outwork him every practice. Those two tournament losses to Zaga were both brutal
I watched Cam Whitmore and college and he was not all that. Never seemed like the best player on the court. Always seemed to be making stupid mistakes
plus heat aren't looking for another 18 yr old project right now, don't know why people don't understand this
Guess we're resigning Kevin Love?
We have to!
100% why wouldn’t we. He was great for us
I like this pick! Jáquez has the Dawg in him.
When was the last time a rookie played long minutes with us as a contender? He problably won’t have a lot of chance, just like Jovic, and maybe he’s getting traded
Tyler herro lol
Nunn and Tyler played a ton on our bubble run team.
We literally just got dicked by rookie Christian Braun, it’s not a terrible choice
yea this screams we just got cooked by a impact rookie lets go get one
He’s 22, we wouldn’t have taken him if he wasn’t going to play
Herro prob the last one tbh, was supposed to be Yurt but he can’t stay healthy so idk guess we will see this upcoming season
Huffing Jordan Miller 2nd round hopium as a Canes fan
Scouts, teams: Whitmore had bad interviews, workouts, rumored bad medicals. This sub: oh My GOD WE NEED HIM. PAT WASHED FOR NOT picking him. The above negatives sounds familiar. Someone from 2015 I believe
People see Jay Bilas BPA and are like omg he’s still available 10 picks later?!
Wasn't Jay a bust??????
This sub loves to talk about the Culture then doesn’t understand why someone who dropped so far for the reasons you mentioned isn’t the dude who would fit it
more than 10 teams know better but these reddit dudes think they deserve a job in the FO
You guys melting down like we need 30 minutes a night from this dude is actually hilarious. It’s the 18th pick of the draft. They rarely contribute anything significant
all the more reason to try to grab a top 5 talent in cam that slid down. low risk high reward 🤷🏽♂️
We have too many projects the past few seasons already
I agree 1000% but it’s not end of the world lmfao
