Jaren Jackson Jr. had the best season of his seven-year career last season, which resulted in a second NBA All-Star game appearance and a second team All-Defense nod. The Grizzlies' star big man has developed into one of the best players in the NBA, but the criticism of his game from both the fan base and outside has been aggressive.

The former Defensive Player of the Year winner didn't help his case after a disappointing playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, when he only averaged 16 points on 37.9% shooting from the field. His unique game that mostly revolves around his ability to space the floor and attack the paint off the dribble drive is unorthodox, but has garnered some success.
