Jaime Jaquez Jr. is coming off a tough 2024-25 campaign with the Miami Heat. Regardless, the 24-year-old will aim to be a key member of the rotation for the team in the 2025-26 season.

Given the importance of his situation and his role, Jaquez Jr. seems to be prioritizing a bounce-back to form. While discussing his approach to the offseason with the Miami Herald’s Anthony Chiang, Jaquez said:

“Just going back and watching some film. I think that’s a big one. Just remembering what it was that put me on the floor, what it was that got me to this position. Just kind of leaning into my strengths, as well as working on things that I need to work on, like shooting and defense. And just bringing it all together as a whole, I think, is one of the biggest things for me this offseason. I’ve been doing a great job, my trainer out there is really helping me through this process, and it has been great.”
