NBA fans are excited for players who chose the Miami Heat on their 20th pick in the draft.
The NBA draft is underway. Last night’s first round was over. Several teams made the picks and landed some really strong players on their roster.
The Cooper Flag was the first overall pick that was uncontroversial, but there were several strong players to choose from for the team. Several good players were selected in the first round of the NBA Draft.
More than the lottery, fans were excited about the future was the players chosen in the middle and end of Round One.
However, one of the players that the Miami Heat picked on the #20 pick in the draft has been called the group’s steal by fans.
NBA fans joined social media to accommodate the Miami Heat, who chooses Casparas Jaxionis with #20 picks in the first round.
One fan appropriately wrote “Draft stealing.”
Another fan warned the league to pay attention, saying, “This guy will be the first team all-rookie. Please mark my words.”
However, some fans were surprised that Jakucionis had collapsed as much as he did.
Another fan said, reflecting these feelings, “I like this pick and I was surprised he is still available.”
One fan believes Jakucionis gives the heat exactly what he needs and says, “Amazing, great, great picks… filling in the dazzling hole we have with point guard and claiming it’s great in BAM, clothing and P&R.
However, another fan has great hopes for Caspalus in the heat jersey.
The Miami Heat has long needed ball-handling point guards. Tyler Hero was an All-Star last season, but he’s not a natural distributor.
One of the best point guards in the 2025 draft class, Jakucionis’ Landing is a big win for the heat. It was very surprising to see him fall as low as he was.
During his final season in Illinois, Jakucionis averaged 15.0 points and 4.7 assists per game. This level of production is extremely beneficial for the heat as they are about to rebuild their roster.
The Heat didn’t create draft night trades like many expected people. And after they didn’t land Kevin Durant in the trade, this is the victory needed to try and make it easier for Heat fans to miss another superstar.
