Jaime Jaquez Jr. Exceeds Expectations with Career-Best Marks in Third NBA Season

Jaime Jaquez Jr. is experiencing a significant upswing in his third NBA season, making massive strides after a somewhat disappointing sophomore campaign. Despite not starting in any of the Miami Heat's 11 games thus far, Jaquez Jr. is averaging nearly 30.0 minutes per contest. He ranks second on the team in assists per game and third in rebounds per game, while also being one of four Heat players to average more than 17.5 points per contest. These statistics represent career-best marks for the former UCLA Bruin, who has been on triple-double alert in his last three games. While his three-point production has dipped, his overall performance makes him a valuable fantasy basketball addition. The Heat shared a highlight of a crucial bucket he made, sending the game into overtime.
