Memphis Grizzlies: Comparing Jaren Jackson Jr. With Other Top Picks

The Memphis Grizzlies took Jaren Jackson Jr. with the fourth overall pick and it’s looking good so far. He has been dominant on both ends of the floor and has shown more versatility than anybody could’ve expected.

The other rookies have all had their shining moments early in the season as well. A few Rookie of the year candidates are starting to emerge but they’ve all played well.

The only top-five pick that has struggled to get a consistent role is Kings forward Marvin Bagley III. The Kings have opted to play veteran players over their young guys and it has led to some surprising wins which have led to Bagley’s role having some uncertainty.
