F • 6’7, 225 lbs; 2nd year, UCLA
FUTURE TOP DOG
NBA ROLE: MULTI-LEVEL SCORER
A 2024 All-Rookie First-Teamer, Miami’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. was a perfect match for MIA’s impeccable culture: tough, fiery forward - adds size, scoring, connective play for Coach Spo; lost art: Jaquez Jr. plays very well w/ his back to the basket: his footwork & patience creates chances to score - able to react to how the defense is playing him, then drop in floaters, turnaround Js, and drop steps; deceptive moves in the lane, can finish between the lines & under the rim; needs to improve as a standstill (and movement shooter) and discover his specialty as a defender; missing element that Miami has been lacking? MIA always covets shooters: they’re banking on Jaquez is depended upon fill a few different roles; bright future: Jaquez Jr. possesses lots of intangibles and a willingness to succeed at a high level: could slowly develop into a leading man in Miami
*played all 4 years at UCLA - PAC-12 POY as a senior
