Memphis Grizzlies: NBA 2K19 Player-By-Player Review

3 of 7

TARRYTOWN, NY – AUGUST 12: Jaren Jackson Jr. #13 of the Memphis Grizzlies poses for a portrait during the 2018 NBA Rookie Photo Shoot on August 12, 2018 at the Madison Square Garden Training Facility in Tarrytown, New York. /

Jaren Jackson Jr’s rating in NBA is a 78, and is very deceptive for that rating. Jackson is a legitimate threat at his position with a 78, and is in the starting lineup over JaMychal Green. Jackson has a lot of tools, and I think his play in Summer League helped boost his rating.

I know, I am talking about how great a guy is with a 78 is in 2K, but if you add in the fact that Jackson is only a rookie, and will get more cards as the season goes on (hopefully) in NBA 2K’s MyTeam, 78 is a great start, and he fits in with the Grizzlies starting five.

Jackson’s game stretches out to the three point line, and while he doesn’t rebound the best, he blocks shocking to these in Summer League.

Fans that want to bring a guy off the bench to play the five in place of Ivan Rabb, could potentially play Jackson at the five and Rabb at the four. I’d say that Jackson is probably the most versatile Grizzly on this 2K roster.
