I think this credit goes to coach Spo for being good enough in developing unknown players.
Credit to him for giving JJJ the time on the court but I can't say the same about developing him as a player. I mean they haven't really spent a lot of time together for us to say he added something to his arsenal. Jaime's smooth transition to the NBA is probably more down to the sound basketball foundation he got from four years in college. No flashy handles and explosive leaps but I bet his footwork and moves in the post are already there prior to the NBA. Not to mention his awareness and off-ball movements.
It was his ring IQ that he developed during 4 years of college, so he is very much ready in his first year in the NBA. How surprising that he wasn't included in the conversation of players that could pontentially win a ROY, but now his name is already included due to his impressive performance with the Heat. I bet he'll continue to earn decent minutes after what he showed on their last game, and knowing coach Spo style, he based on performance of a player, that's why everyone in the team has a chance.

I still remember when Robinson was almost shut down, probably due to his poor defense, his minutes have dropped in the past season but now he is back providing spark for the team. So if a player played well, he'll earn minutes, that's how it work with Miami Heat.
