Jaren Jackson Jr.

Jaren Jackson Jr. is a capable game-wrecker on both ends of the court — sometimes even in the same sequence. The Memphis Grizzlies’ first-time All-Star came away with a steal against the Los Angeles Lakers but the best was yet to come as Jackson Jr. trailed the play up the floor before pouncing on a missed John Konchar floater and hammering home a pulverizing putback slam over Anthony Davis. The emerging fifth-year forward and two-way threat tallied 16 points, seven rebounds and four blocks as the Grizzlies outscored the Lakers by 15 in the second half en route to a 121-109 victory on February 28, 2023.
