Jaime Jaquez 2023 NBA Draft Profile (Combine Results, Measurements and Scouting Report for Seasoned Prospect)

UCLA's Jaime Jaquez enters the 2023 NBA Draft as one of the more well-known prospects available. After a successful career with a ton of accolades from his time as a Bruin, Jaquez has what it takes to take his game to the professional level.

Here's everything you need to know about Jaime Jaquez before the 2023 NBA Draft.

Jaime Jaquez Scouting Report and Draft Prediction

Jaquez saved his best season at UCLA for last, finishing the 2022-23 campaign with career-highs in points (17.8), rebounds (8.2), and field goals made (7.1) per game. His efforts earned him a plethora of accolades, which includes being named Pac-12 Player of the Year while also winning the Lute Olson Award for being the most outstanding player in all of NCAA basketball.

Jaquez used his 6-foot-6, 226-pound frame to bully defenders during his time with the Bruins. Whether it was driving to the net or collecting rebounds, he wasn't afraid to show physicality.

One of the biggest red flags surrounding Jaquez is his underwhelming three-point shooting. He only averaged 0.9 threes on 32.8% shooting throughout 134 games (126 starts). He also isn't the most athletic prospect, likely capping his ceiling.

After making a name for himself in the City of Angels, I could see Jaime Jaquez going to the Los Angeles Clippers at No. 30. The average age of the Clippers' nine wing players is 30.4 (per Spotrac), and only one of them is signed beyond the 2024-25 season (Normal Powell). In other words, they can afford to get a bit younger.

The Clippers were also a top-10 three-point shooting team last season, meaning they don't need Jaquez to succeed from downtown right away. He can learn from talented veterans on the roster until he's ready for a bigger role down the line.

Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers (Round 1, 30th overall)
