Finally played a decent game! Has the Heat s first-round pick really found its form?
10:15am, 13 July 2025【Basketball】
In a previous NBA Las Vegas summer league game, the Atlanta Hawks defeated the Miami Heat 105-98, achieving their first summer league victory.
In this game, although the Heat lost the game, the team's starting point guard Kasparas Jakucionis finally played a decent game, and he also got rid of his bad form in the previous three games in the California Classics. Yacucionics played 28 minutes and 20 seconds in the game, made 7 of 12 shots, 5 of 9 from the three-point line, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored the highest score of the team with 24 points plus 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. He also had 2 turnovers and 5 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -11. Yacucionics finally found the touch on the offensive end. He also scored a large number of points through outside shooting, proving that he has good scoring ability. Not only that, Yacucionics can also play a certain role in passing and organizing, and his performance on the defensive end is also quite standard. It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for Yacucionics' outstanding performance, the Heat would have lost even worse in this game.
Summer League so far, Yacucionics has averaged 23.5 minutes in the first four games, with averaging 9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals, 3.5 turnovers and 4.2 fouls, shooting percentage of 29.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 25%, and free throw shooting percentage of 88.2%. Yacucionics' performance in the first three games was a mess, his offensive efficiency was very poor, his performance outside the three-point line was even more terrible, his performance in turnover control was not ideal, and he was not a reliable defender. Yacucionics' performance in the first three games is no longer average. He can be said to be the worst performer among all the players participating in the California Classics. Such performance can be said to have completely fallen below everyone's perception of him.
Acucionis performed well in the NCAA last season. This freshman from Lithuania quickly became a key figure at the University of Illinois. His overall performance on the offensive end is very outstanding, which is also an important factor in his ability to be selected by the Heat in the 20th pick in the first round in this year's NBA draft. However, in the previous few games, his performance was really bad, which really made many Heat fans worried. In this game, Yacucionics did find his own feel, but we don’t know whether he can maintain such a performance in the next game. Did Yacucionics gradually find his form or did he just happen to be lucky enough in this game?
