The PartyNextDoor & Drake ‘Recognize’ Section (Honorable Mention)

Every week we love to highlight some of the rookies who have had some memorable moments or who have had some memorable games in the week. This week we had to show love to one of our favorites, Miami Heat shooting guard James Ennis.

During the season Ennis has gotten inconsistent minutes but the effort he plays with and heart he shows never changes and that’s more important.

James Ennis – Miami Heat/SF
Ennis is one of the rookies that has had to scrap for every opportunity that he was given. Playing off of the bench for the Miami Heat and attempting to earn the trust of coach Erik Spoelstra isn’t an easy task, but Ennis is making the most of it. During the week Ennis has already some great games.

Against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Ennis scored six points, had four rebounds and one assist. Two games later Ennis played against the Indiana Pacers and showed why he deserves to keep getting minutes making an awesome block. Hustle plays and energy plays are what’s going to give Ennis consistent minutes.

Keep on hustling, Ennis the Menace.
