Miami Heat 2025 #20 pick Kasparas Jakucionis thinks that his global basketball experience has helped him grow both on and off the court.

(via Miami Heat):

“I think every time I moved to play somewhere else, especially from home when I was just 15, it helped me grow as a person and as a player, learn new cultures, play different style of games because Spain is different than Lithuania. Then I moved to Illinois, another adjustment to play US basketball more than Spanish. So, I think just these all adjustments give me more experience and obviously it’s a process. I can’t wait to start working.”
