JJJ is a vet inside a rookie and a good one.
Mature beyond his years.
Glad we didn’t trade him.

Lowry and Dru combined had a 0 points and 6 fouls.

I really like Dru...or at least the potential that his style of defense could bring....

Let's give it up to Spo tho....he said....nope....this aint happening and pulled Dru out after 3 minutes.

We need PG’s damnit. Maybe Tyus Jones, Delon Wright, and Gallo for Lowry and Jovic works

JJJ has earned the trust of the staff. Jovic has not unfortunately

I think the Heat are trying to make Jovic our point. Going to be a bit before hes up to speed.

Had b2b meetings so missed this one. Looks like Jimmy and Jaime balled out, Duncan continued his renaissance and Bam was Bam.

He’s really impressed and proved me wrong in many ways. He’s turning into what Gabe and Strus were in his own way.

Ya I was mad at that too, he'd get a few min and make a difference every time then immediately pulled and even not get to play at all the next game. Weird stuff....

Jaquez is developing super quick. He already looks indispensable in the rotation.

Always fun when Jimmy pops in to remind everyone he’s the best player in the world.

Bam was underwhelming and still had 21-11-4-3-1, that’s a very good sign.

Peak Duncan byke?!

Highsmith is the best PF we’ve had next to Bam since he’s been a starter? :o

Our Pg rotation is complete ass, gotta be worst in the league pretty easily right?

PJ Washington fuxks us up every time we play

He was drafted as a project, Miami knew it would take time to develop a guy who was still in HS, if he's not in the rotation sometime next season, that's the time to be worried about him. This team is trying to win if people are healthy, potential has to sit.

Do not trade jovic. Heat is heavily invested in developing him. Be patience. Bam wasn’t this good when he first came to the league. Be patience

Their situations appear to be quite different. Bam averaged 20 minutes per game in his rookie year, playing in 69 games, and then featured in all 82 games the following season.

In contrast, Jovic has averaged only 14 minutes per game across 17 games since being drafted. While I agree that we shouldn't rush into trading him, it's essential to provide him with more playing time for hands-on experience and growth.

Would Jovic really perform significantly worse than Love if given his time on the court? Increasing Jovic's minutes might not drastically change game outcomes, but it could be crucial for his development. The current strategy is puzzling; the low risk of Jovic making some errors seems far outweighed by the potential benefit of him growing into a productive rotation player.
