The Miami Heat selected University of Illinois guard Kasparas Jakucionis with the No. 20 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft Wednesday night.

Jakucionis brings size (6-5, 205) and an all-around floor game to the perimeter. He turned 19 last month.

He averaged 15 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists as a freshman, including one run of six straight 20-point games that featured matchups against three ranked teams — including then-No. 1 Tennessee. He also had four double-digit rebounding games and eight games with at least seven assists.

He was also one of the nation's best freshmen at getting to the foul line (5.1 attempts per game).
