5 points on 2 of 6 shooting, 5 turnovers, 9 boards, 1 block, 2 assists (should have had more had Napier not gone 0 for 10 early on).
I love JB but he's not a small forward and I think they'll make him into a 3 because of his height. He's much better down low and definitely can rebound. He didn't finish well at all on some spin moves, took no jumpers outside of five feet and generally just set screens and passed it off. Defensively was decent though he struggled covering big guys like Olynyk on the perimeter. Hopefully he gets better as the games go on and gets more comfortable with his teammates.
The tweener label is tough to shake.

i watched the first half, he had some okay moments but most of the time he didn't look great.

JB played just nine minutes against the Nets, scoring three points on 1-of-3 shooting with 3 boards and 2 assists. Did make a nice assist at the end of the third quarter on a very unselfish play. Didn't play at all in the first half. Apparently the Heat didn't need him since they won 110-91.

Another tough day for JB, playing just five minutes today for Miami and doing very little aside from bricking an ugly three-pointer (yes he made a layup). I believe the playoffs are coming up and he should get his ass to Vegas to play for Denver. Right now, barring something unforeseen, it's Europe or D-League. Just shows you how tough the NBA is to make.
