Heat forward Jimmy Butler on rookie Jaime Jaquez: “He’s got some ‘go,’ that’s for sure. He gets right to it in the mid-post, takes the right shots, kicks the ball out incredibly well. This might be his rookie year, but he’s played basketball in a winning manner for so long that he’s doing it on this level now. So as the game slows down for him, as it will, he’ll just continue to get better.”
