"The turnaround for Jaquez Jr. has been remarkable, and Monday night's game against Cleveland might have best symbolized how far he has come since last year. Back in April, when Miami got swept by Cleveland, Jaquez Jr. played a total of 19 minutes in the series. On Monday, he played 33 minutes and had 22 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks, one steal, and a partiage in a pear tree."
"And no one player has symbolized the turnaround more than Jaime Jaquez Jr., who finds himself in the running for an award no one would have expected when the season began. Jaime Jaquez Jr. is in the running for 6th Man of the Year As it stands right now, JJJ is the betting favorite to win 6th Man of the Year in the NBA, with Ajay Mitchell and Quentin Grimes trailing behind."
The Miami Heat have started the season strongly, with Jaime Jaquez Jr. becoming a central contributor off the bench. Jaquez Jr. is currently the early betting favorite for NBA Sixth Man of the Year after a notable performance against Cleveland. His minutes, scoring, and all-around production have increased dramatically compared with last season. Three-point shooting remains a weakness, but his ability to attack the rim has led to nearly double the free-throw attempts and an 11-point jump in overall field-goal percentage. Jaquez Jr. posts one of the best plus/minus marks, and his fit in Erik Spoelstra's space-and-pace offense has been a major factor in Miami's success.
