Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. was so excited to talk about how proud he is of his little sister Gabriela after she was drafted with the No. 5 pick by the Sky in Monday night’s WNBA draft.
Since Jaquez was preparing for Tuesday night’s Heat–Hornets play-in tournament game, he wasn’t able to attend the draft in New York City to support his sister in person. He did FaceTime his family after WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert called Jaquez’s name. Jaquez was one of six UCLA stars to be selected on Monday night, setting a new record for the most players from one program being drafted on the same night.
