Big UCLA and JJJ fan here. The only thing I wondered about was whether he’d have the athleticism to play on the perimeter in the NBA. Heat fans, how has he looked in that regard? Is he outmatched at all athletically?

slightly unreleated his vertical is actually one of the better ones in the draft

He's an above average athlete more importantly strong and decisive....

I had questions about his athleticism for most of his junior and senior years at UCLA, but he was playing on bum ankles for most of those seasons. When he was finally healthy during the final stretch of last season I lost all doubts about his athleticism keeping him out of the NBA.
