2023 Fantasy Outlook
Jaquez played all four years in college at UCLA, ranking eighth all-time in points (1,802), eighth in steals (178) and 11th in rebounds (842) in school history. He averaged 17.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 steals across 37 games in 2022-23. For his efforts, the senior forward was named a consensus second-team All-American and 2023 Pac-12 Player of the Year. Jaquez has nice size and strength for a forward. He has good footwork in the post and can create his own shot or generate looks for his teammates. He is a crafty finisher but has also shown the ability to step outside for jump shots from the midrange and three. He is a smart defender who is adept at reading passing lanes, though he may not be a plus defender at the NBA level. The Heat selected Jaquez with the No. 18 pick in the 2023 Draft. He made two Summer League appearances before suffering a shoulder injury, totaling 26 points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes. Jaquez's role for the upcoming season is a bit unclear, partially due to the potential trade for Damian Lillard. For the time being, the rookie should be an every-game player for Miami, especially with the team being relatively thin at forward. It seems unlikely he'll see enough run for fantasy consideration, however. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Jaime Jaquez Jr. spent the last four seasons playing the UCLA Bruins, ranking eighth all-time in points (1,802), eighth in steals (178) and 11th in rebounds (842) in school history. He averaged 17.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 steals across 37 games in 2022-23. For his efforts, the senior forward was named a consensus second-team All-American and 2023 Pac-12 Player of the Year. Throughout his collegiate career, he also earned Pac-12 All-Freshman Team honors and made the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team twice. Before UCLA, Jaquez played at Camarillo High School in Camarillo, California. Not only was he named to the first-team All-CIF Southern Section all four years, but he also played two seasons of varsity baseball as a pitcher and first baseman. Jaquez competed for the Mexican National Team in 2019 at the Pan American Games. Jaquez has good size and strength for a forward. He has good footwork in the post and can create his own shot or generate looks for his teammates. Jaquez is a crafty finisher but has also shown the ability to step outside for jump shots from the midrange and three. He is a smart defender who is adept at reading passing lanes. Jaquez will likely begin his career competing for playing time but has the potential to develop into a quality bench player. His game has shades of Rui Hachimura and Anthony Lamb due to his strong rebounding profile and ability to finish around the rim.

Steps up in starting lineup
FMiami Heat
April 21, 2024
Jaquez notched 16 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 114-94 loss to Boston in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Jaquez once again stepped up for Miami while earning another starting nod in place of the injured Jimmy Butler (knee), handing out a team-high-tying assist total while ending as one of three Heat players with 15 or more points. Jaquez started in 20 games during the regular season, posting 15 or more points in 12 of those starts.
