National reporter says the quiet part out loud about Jaime Jaquez Jr.

The Miami Heat didn't anticipate the sophomore slump that Jaime Jaquez Jr. fell into last season. And if some recent speculation is any indication, the Heat wasn't very happy with how he approached his second season after a strong rookie campaign.

In the words of ESPN's Brian Windhorst, the Heat was "not thrilled with [Jaquez's] overall demeanor after the success in his rookie year." The fact that he took a pretty big step back in his sophomore season probably didn't help matters any.

Nevertheless, this bit of information from Windy does give the indication that the Heat were disappointed in not only the results for Jaquez, but also his process heading into last year.
