¿Sabías Que?
He is the first player of Mexican descent to be selected in the NBA Draft lottery in the modern era — a milestone he has acknowledged with genuine pride.
His father Jaime Sr. played at UCLA in the 1990s, making them one of the rare father-son pairs who both starred at the same major basketball program.
He chose to stay four years at UCLA when most projected lottery picks leave after one or two seasons — a decision that teammates, coaches, and scouts have uniformly credited as the key to his professional readiness.
He speaks Spanish fluently and has used his platform to connect with the large Latino basketball community in Miami and nationally.
