The one habit Jaren Jackson Jr. still can’t break in Memphis

Related Topics: Jaren Jackson Jr.

The Memphis Grizzlies have played 13 games this season, with Jaren Jackson Jr. playing in all of them. He is currently averaging his lowest point total since his injury-shortened 2020-21 season with 17.2 points and his lowest block average (1.4) since his rookie season back in the 2018-19 season.

However, he is shooting the highest field goal percentage of his career (50.9%) and the highest three-point percentage of his career (39.6%). So what's the problem? He is only averaging 12.2 shot attempts per game (lowest since 2020-21) and is only playing 28.4 minutes per game, mostly due to his continued insistence on being in foul trouble.
