Miami Heat's Jaime Jaquez Partners With Memorabilia Company Fanatics Authentic

Miami Heat rookie Jaime Jaquez continues to grow his brand by joining the likes of Jayson Tatum, Tua Tagovailua and Jaylen Waddle on the Fanatics Authentic roster

It has only taken Miami Heat rookie Jaime Jaquez a few months to become one of the most popular players in the NBA. 

He is widely considered the steal of last year's draft after being selected with the No. 18 pick out of UCLA. Not only has Jaquez been a rotation player since the season opener, he has already built a fan base and solid brand. 

Which is why it was an easy decision for Fantastics Authentic, to add him to their roster of athletes to represent their memorabilia company. Jaquez recently made his debut, joining the likes of Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics) and Jaylen Waddle and Tua Tagovailua of the Miami Dolphins. 

The company markets Jaquez via autographed jerseys, trading cards, posters, drawings, etc that will be available in the near future. Here's a look at his debut. All items can be found HERE.

Jaquez is considered among the top rookies this season, along with Chet Holmgren (Oklahoma City) and Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs. Jaquez is averaging 12.9 points and 3.6 rebounds, becoming an instant impact player for the Heat. 

His popularity has grown so quickly that he's already been featured in GQ Magazine and appeared in a Hotels.com commercial with Heat star Jimmy Butler. He's also signed a shoe deal with Jordan while fans have dubbed him "Juan Wick" because of his resemblance to movie character John Wick, played by Keanu Reeves.
