Through summer league and an impressive preseason debut, Miami Heat rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. has had a pretty good start to his NBA career.

And now, he's making strides off the court as well, becoming one of just four rookies from this year's draft class to sign with Jordan Brand. He joined Orlando's Jett Howard, Detroit's Marcus Sasser and Houston's Cam Whitmore.

Jaquez couldn't be more excited to join the "Jumpman."

"The emotion that came to mind when I found out I was going to be a Jordan Brand athlete was pure excitement," Jaquez told the Boardroom.
