Meeting the Boston Celtics in Round 1 is a colossal task, but Jaquez Jr. has provided some relief as a rookie assuming a significant postseason role.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. has been a selection that the Miami Heat has been very thankful for this past season. As the 18th pick in last year's draft, Jaquez Jr. slipped down the line but had one of the strongest rookie campaigns of any in a loaded 2024 draft class.
Like a portion of the regular season, Jaquez Jr. has been assigned a much larger role in absence of the team's anchor and star in Jimmy Butler, who had suffered an MCL sprain and is expected to return in several weeks. But against the best team in the Eastern Conference that holds the best record in the NBA, overcoming the Celtics and reaching Round 2 before Butler returns is a task that just doesn't seem very feasible as the No. 8 seed.
