Kasparas Jakucionis was selected No. 20 by the Miami Heat in the 2025 NBA Draft but has shown inconsistent performance in the Summer League. After a poor start in the California Classic, where he shot 1-of-15 with six assists and 12 turnovers, Jakucionis averaged 15 points and improved efficiency in Las Vegas. In contrast, Nique Clifford, chosen No. 24 by the Sacramento Kings, excelled with averages of 18.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5 assists, suggesting the Heat may have made a mistake with their pick.
Jakucionis got off to an extremely rocky start during the California Classic Summer League, wrapping up the stint shooting just 1-of-15 from the field and notching six assists and 12 turnovers.
In his first three Summer League games with the Kings, Clifford has averaged 18.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists while shooting 58.3% from the field and 52.9% from deep.
