Erik Spoelstra can’t hide his love for Heat rookie Kasparas Jakucionis

Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra has had nothing but praise to offer when speaking about rookie point guard Kasparas Jakucionis. He most recently described him as a "pitbull," and it's almost as if the team is taking the complete opposite approach with Jakucionis than they've been taking with Kel'el Ware.

Where Spo publicly criticizes Ware, he goes above and beyond with praise for Jakucionis. It's pretty obvious that Spo loves the way Jakucionis approaches the game, and it could reveal the biggest potential problem with Ware.

Even though it's somewhat of a mystery as to what we should expect from Jakucionis this season, it's clear that Spo (and the Heat) love his intangibles enough.
