Jaren Jackson Jr. was selected 4th overall in the 2018 NBA Draft from Michigan State. At 6′10″, he blends elite defense with increasingly potent offense.
Defensively, Jackson is widely regarded as one of the NBA’s elite rim protectors. His shot-blocking instincts, timing, and ability to guard multiple positions have made him a perennial candidate for All-Defensive honors. He plays a crucial role anchoring the Grizzlies’ defense, often erasing mistakes with his interior presence.
