The Memphis Grizzlies hit it big when they selected Jaren Jackson Jr. with the fourth overall pick of the 2018 NBA Draft. Only one other rookie peer — Luka Doncic — is having a bigger impact than the Michigan State product, and that much may not hold true for much longer.
Jackson Jr. is quickly becoming the Grizzlies’ most impactful player. His game has flourished since leaving the collegiate ranks and stepping into the professional spotlight. The basketball world is now seeing that his game is much more than the stifling defense he was known for while at MSU.
