Jaren Jackson Jr. is entering an important season for his career as the Memphis Grizzlies extended his stay as one of the faces of the franchise. He is now the highest-paid player on the team following his five-year, $240 million contract extension this summer, but his playoff performances leave a lot to be desired from a player of his caliber.
The biggest issues surrounding the former Defensive Player of the Year winner are the foul trouble that always seems to find its way to him in the Grizzlies' biggest games. A Grizzlies rival opponent even displayed his disappointment in Jaren when Draymond Green said, "He's too good to still be getting in foul trouble" after the Golden State Warriors defeated the Grizzlies in a late-season matchup.
