Heat's Jaime Jaquez Jr. moving forward after 'extremely humbling' second NBA season
Briefly

After a promising rookie season, Jaime Jaquez Jr. faced a tough sophomore year with decreased performance in scoring and shooting. Despite being named to the NBA's All-Rookie First Team previously, his average points dropped to 8.6 per game, and his shooting percentages declined. In an exit interview, he described this season as "humbling" and emphasized the importance of learning from setbacks. Jaquez is determined to work hard over the summer to refine his skills and return with enhanced performance next season.
Jaquez emphasized the importance of taking lessons from his challenging sophomore year, stating, "It was a very humbling year... I'm taking the approach to just learn, dive into the film, continue to work on my game and just continue to get better."
He remarked, "Sometimes things don't go your way. And sometimes only after do you realize why that had to happen to you. So I'm taking it all with me in the summer."
