Nikola Jovic, the 20-year-old Serbian forward who made his mark in the NBA scene after being selected by the Miami Heat with the 27th overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft, recently shared his admiration for teammate Jimmy Butler’s exceptional work ethic.
In a recent conversation with Christos Tsaltas, Jovic emphasized the impact Butler has had on him. “Just his working mentality. He’s one of those guys that you’ll see work all the time. When he’s on the court he will give 100%. That’s what I’m trying to takeaway from him,” Jovic revealed.
Jovic, who officially joined the Heat with a multi-year rookie scale contract in July 2022, has quickly established himself as a promising player.
Butler’s dedication and relentless approach to the game have earned him a reputation as a leader on and off the court. Jovic’s acknowledgment of Butler’s work ethic underscores the impact that seasoned players can have on the development of young talents.
