Although he likely won't be in the starting lineup regularly in 2024-25, he should get his chances with the first five, considering Jimmy ...

Jaquez Jr. has struggled this month, with his scoring numbers dropping to 10.3 points per game, and the talented rookie has gone only 4-for-22 with the three-ball across his last eight outings.
