Jarren Jackson might be the least impactful NBA player I’ve ever seen

Like father, like son



“It’s Jaren Jackson and that’s his 4th…”

I've never understood how any player 6'10 or better can't get at least 8-10 boards a night if he plays 30 minutes a night. But some guys just aren't apt rebounders despite how big they are. Brook Lopez is another one who has always frustrated me with his lack of rebounding prowes

BROOK LOPEZ STARTED OFF AS A SOLID REBOUNDER

BUT THEN HE STARTED USING THIS METHOD WHERE HE WOULD BOX OUT HIS OPPONENT AND ALLOW FOR HIS TEAMMATES TO GO AND GRAB THE BOARD AS HE SEALED THEM OFF

Brook has always been known as a mediocre rebounder especially being his size. And being that he has NEVER even grabbed 9 boards a night I think that is an apt description for him.

1. He's not a center
2. He leads the team in blocks, and our defense is noticeably worse when he's off the floor
3. No one cares about labels or antiquated definitions of defense and defensive anchors. As long as the team is doing what it is supposed to collectively we're good. Tony Allen was a great 1 v 1 defensive player for us but over time his deficiencies held the team back. The game is more nuanced than dumb ass critiques show



It's insane that JJJ has haters. Why is there a thread on his rebounding?

He's not that prominent of a player.

If you're not rebounding, you're not ending the possessions. As a big that's part of the job description. Anyone more focused on blocks than stops is telling on themselves.

Straight up - JJJ has never been better than Joakim Noah. If someone thinks otherwise they're just casuals.

I do agree he should average no less than 8.5 RPG but there's also the entire other side of the ball called defense.

Them fraudulent DPOY's

Then get absolutely owned during the playoffs.

 

[VegetasHairline]

Watching teams play great defense for a possession just to give up an offensive rebound and then the other team scores.

 

[HiphopRelated]

Go watch NBA games from 10 years ago then

We talking about a DPOY player not being a great player, FOH

That's Bam's DPOY

 

[Black Hans]

He needs to step that rebound game up. Not averaging close to 10 rebounds as a big is status, but he's a great defender and a decent scorer. Plenty of teams will gladly take JJJ off the Grizzlies' hands if they're that stupid to trade him.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Kwame Brown was in the league for 15 years or something. You dudes always exaggerate.


He’s a solid scorer, great blocker, moves smartly etc.

He’s not the designated rebounder so he doesn’t get the easy ones, or else he’d likely be a 10 bpg player

These old cognitive declining dumbasses can't remember anyone outside of the top 10-15 players and assume everybody was like them.

The Grizzlies grabbed the second most total rebounds per game last year. Ranked #3 for Offensive rebounds, #4 for defensive rebounds.

But the Grizzlies had the second most rebounds per game last year. #4 in defensive rebounds.

Like conan said, y'alls basketball analysis is antiquated. The Grizzlies don't need JJJ to rebound because they have plenty of guys for that already.

It was just a general statement.
I'm not a fan of PFs/Cs that don't rebound either.

you haven't seen james wiseman?

In 4 of the past 5 seasons they’ve been top 5, including #1.

How can you be a pure stat watcher and not check all the basic stats

HE WAS OVER 8 HIS FIRST 2 SEASONS N THEN NEVER REACHED THAT AGAIN


HE DOUBLED DOWN ON HIS TEAM REBOUND METHOD

 

[Buckeye Fever]

I think there'd be a place for him, but I think his defense is overrated because he can't play defense without fouling and he's not good at what completes a defensive possession, which is rebound.

I think he should be more aggressive on offense because I think that's where he's underrated
