"Jaquez's three-point shooting percentage this season is his worst in his three years in the league. In his rookie and second year, he shot above 30%, but is well below that mark this season, at 28.8%. While his field goal percentage has gone up each season, his three-point percentage has continued to drop."
"Jaime Jaquez Jr. is quietly one of the Heat's best players and has been consistently all season long. He's scored double digits in eight of his last 11 games and is shooting 50% from the floor this year, which is a career-best for him. His offensive efficiency has improved drastically."
"Of course, Jaquez is well aware of this and admits he focuses on confidence and consistency when shooting from beyond the arc. Over the past five games, Jaquez has gone 8 for 13 from three - a much better percentage compared to the previous four games, going 2 for 10."
The Miami Heat are on a six-game winning streak with playoff implications, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. has emerged as one of their most consistent performers. He has scored double digits in eight of his last 11 games and is shooting 50% from the floor, a career-best. His offensive efficiency has improved significantly, validating the Heat's decision to draft and develop him. However, his three-point shooting has declined to 28.8% this season, down from above 30% in his first two years. Despite recent improvement, shooting 8 for 13 from three over the past five games, his long-range shooting remains an area needing work. Jaquez acknowledges the importance of confidence and consistency from beyond the arc.
