Memphis Grizzlies PF Jaren Jackson Jr. is one of the most valuable young players in the league

There is not a single NBA franchise out there who wouldn’t be thrilled to have Jaren Jackson Jr. on their team. He’s only 21-years old and he has improve drastically since his freshman year.

We have yet to see him suit up for the Grizzlies in the 2020-21 season, but when he returns, he’ll elevate this team instantly. For a Grizzlies team that will need him in the lineup to reach the playoffs, his value won’t be felt more this week.

He’s a player who has instant upside, but perhaps more future upside than any player in the league. It was his biggest selling point leading up the the draft.

If Jackson Jr. can reach his full potential, he and Ja Morant could form one of the deadliest duos in the NBA.

Hopefully, we’ll be watching Jackson in a Memphis Grizzlies uniform for years down the road, as he is destined to become one of the league’s best big men in coming years.
