In his third summer league game, Miami Heat 2022 first-round pick Nikola Jovic had his breakout. He made five 3-pointers en route to scoring 25 points and grabbing nine rebounds in just 28 minutes.
It was a welcome sign for Jovic. As Nekias Duncan of Basketball News tweeted, he showed that he’s a willing shooter from deep and moves well without the ball. If Heat fans hope that Jovic can play like a more consistent Kelly Olynyk, who was the Heat’s second-best player in the 2020 NBA Finals, Tuesday’s game offers a tantalizing preview.
