Memphis Grizzlies: Studs and Duds from assertive win vs Knicks

Memphis Grizzlies Studs in win against Knicks

Jaren Jackson Jr.

This was the perfect response to a subpar performance in the game prior. Jaren Jackson Jr. looked like an All-Star on the court and was easily the best frontcourt player on the floor.

The fourth-year big man finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds on 57 percent shooting from the field. For a large duration of the game, he didn’t record a single block which was unlike Jackson considering how dominant he has been in protecting the paint. However, he had two huge blocks late in the fourth to prevent the Knicks from gaining momentum

Ziaire Williams

The rookie continues to impress and notched himself a career-high on the biggest stage of basketball. Ziaire Williams is a stud and his efficiency was the most impressive part of his performance.

Willaims finished with 21 points, four rebounds, and three assists on 9-11 shooting from the field. Coming off a game where he missed the potential game-winning three, Williams had no hesitation when it came to taking big shots in this game, which he converted.

Confidence is key in any player and this young man doesn’t falter in that category. No one in this team does and that’s what makes this group of guys so special.
