That is very close to what I thought of when I was going a rewatch. Jaquez was much more of an individual shot creator with better floater touch, and had a tremendous post base to use spin moves to help out with that. Da Silva is more of a straight up pull up or spot up shooter with straight line drive ability. Both make good decisions on both ends of the floor, but I wasn't as high on Jaquez. I didn't think they could find a way to optimize his talent. Miami, does a great job of that with multiple guys.
Thanks for the nuanced comparison. I will continue to check out highlights of him up until draft time, along with many of the other players from this article...
I am not familiar with DaSilva's game, but from an archetype standpoint, he strikes me as similar to Jaime Jacquez Jr.
How would you compare DaSilva to your evaluation of Jacquez last year?
I know a lot of Laker fans are still annoyed we didn't draft JJJ, or a more pro-ready player last year. Maybe DaSilva can make up for it. 🧐
