The Miami Heat made it to the 2023 NBA Finals, albeit losing to the Denver Nuggets in five games.
After the impressive NBA Finals run, the Heat were off to a shaky start during the 2023-24 NBA season.
However, the Heat have made an epic comeback in their last 10 games in the NBA.
The organization has a 9-1 record in the last 10 games and now holds the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference.
While the star players on the Heat have done their job, Jaime Jaquez Jr. has played a crucial role in helping the Heat win nine out of the last 10 games, as the numbers show via Brett Usher on Twitter.
The Heat have won 9 of their last 10, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. over that span has averaged 13.4 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 2.4 APG, and 1.1 SPG with 57/50/80 splits

As revealed in the above tweet, Jaquez has averaged 13.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.1 steals per game for the Heat.
Moreover, the 22-year-old rookie has maintained elite shooting splits of 57/50/80.
Thanks to the rise of Jaquez, the Heat are once again looking like one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.
For the season, the Jaquez is averaging 10.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game for the Heat.
It’s evident that the Heat have once again managed to identify a hidden gem in the NBA Draft.
In the first 15 games of his career, Jaquez has set the right tone for the rest of his time in the league.
But the only question is whether he can maintain this form over the course of his career or not.
