One of the few good things to come out of the last few weeks for the Miami Heat has been the increased playing time and electric shooting of teenage point guard Kasparas Jakucionis. Ethan Skolnick brings on Digital Adel, who loved the pick back in June, to discuss where the rookie has progressed, and when it's time to turn over the team to him.
