Former UCLA Bruins star Jaime Jaquez Jr. was selected 18th overall in the 2023 NBA Draft. A year later, he became a significant piece for the Miami Heat.
The Heat saw their season come to an end against the Boston Celtics, and Jaquez missed time down the stretch due to an injury. Still, he had a magnificent year resulting in Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month awards and a trip to participate in the Slam Dunk Contest.
Jaquez finished with 11.9 PPG to go with 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists while averaging 28 minutes per contest. Here are the best photos from the rookie year for Jaquez.
