"The Miami Heat has seen both the good and bad from Nikola Jovic to start the season, but he continues to get love as a player who is primed for a breakout year. And if one former front office executive is proven right, Jovic will end up being one of the few young players who will truly hit his stride this season."
"Through three games, Jovic is averaging 12 points, five rebounds, and three assists per game on 46 percent shooting from the field and 40 percent shooting from 3-point range. However, he's had only one game truly worthy to be labeled as a "breakout" performance. That came against the Memphis Grizzlies, in which Jovic finished with 20 points, six rebounds, and four assists. But if you remove that game, Jovic is only averaging seven points and four rebounds on 31 percent shooting from the field."
Nikola Jovic has shown both promising and inconsistent play to start the season and is viewed as primed for a breakout year. John Hollinger listed Jovic among his 10 breakout players for the season alongside Bennedict Mathurin and Matas Buzelis. Through three games Jovic averages 12 points, five rebounds, and three assists while shooting 46 percent from the field and 40 percent from three. He produced one clear breakout against the Memphis Grizzlies with 20 points, six rebounds and four assists; excluding that outing he averages seven points and four rebounds on 31 percent shooting. Consistency and availability have been ongoing issues. With Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware expected to start, Jovic will likely come off the bench and mostly face opponents' second units, increasing expectations that he must exploit those matchups.
