"Through seven games, Jaquez is averaging 19.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, shooting 60.3 percent from the floor with an absurd 65.3 true shooting percentage. His jump shooting has still left plenty to be desired, though the 6-foot-6 wing has more than made up for it with his finishing around the rim, which has been one of the NBA's best."
"Of the 50 players who have attempted at least 30 shots inside the restricted area, Jaquez is shooting 85.0 percent (34-40), second to only Charlotte Hornets rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner (32-37), according to NBA.com's shot tracking data: Ryan Kalkbrenner, Hornets - 86.5 percent (32-37) Jaime Jaquez Jr., Heat - 85.0 percent (34-40) Isaiah Hartenstein, Thunder - 81.8 percent (27-33) Ryan Rollins, Bucks - 81.3 percent (26-32) Victor Wembanyama, Spurs - 81.0 percent (34-42) Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks - 80.4 percent (74-92!!!)"
Through seven games, Jaime Jaquez Jr. is averaging 19.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists while shooting 60.3 percent from the floor and a 65.3 true shooting percentage. His jump shooting remains inconsistent, but elite finishing around the rim has compensated for perimeter shortcomings. Jaquez is shooting 85.0 percent on attempts inside the restricted area (34-40), ranking second among players with at least 30 restricted-area attempts. The Heat's new up-tempo offense has allowed him to get downhill more easily and become less predictable. Those rim numbers are a small sample and likely unsustainable over a full season.
