The Miami Heat‘s latest draft pick, Kasparas Jakucionis, is already turning heads after his debut practice session with the team.

Footage shared by the official Miami Heat X account showcased the 19-year-old Lithuanian Guard gliding past defenders and dropping dimes to his new teammates.

Jakucionis, selected 20th overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, expressed his immense excitement, stating, “I feel great, excited to start the journey and all of this process.”

His unwavering excitement for getting out on the court with his teammates is a testament to the enthusiasm he carries when playing the game of basketball.

The video, capturing Jakucionis’ smooth ball-handling and superb vision, has generated significant buzz among fans and analysts alike.

“Already throwing lobs to Ware u love to see it,” wrote one fan.

“Luka 2.0,” wrote another fan.

“He’s going to cook the summer league,” said one user.

“This dude is IT. #HeatCulture,” said another user.

“Summer League MVP here we come,” chimed in another.

Jakucionis’ first practice with the Heat has certainly set the bar high going into the Summer League.

As the Heat aim to recover after being swept by Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, developing Jakucionis will be a priority for Erik Spoelstra and the rest of the coaching staff.

Despite Pat Riley being heavily scrutinized for dealing away Jimmy Butler plus the lack of moves he’s made in the offseason thus far, his selection of Jakucionis signals a bright spot for the franchise.

As the 2025-26 season approaches, all eyes will be on Jakucionis to see if he’s as good as advertised.
