Jaren Jackson 20 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)

OFFICIAL DTB REMINDER: Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 43 points in a game this season. It wasn’t even that long ago. I recommend that you watch that highlight video instead because (and the math will bear this out), that video is more than twice as good as this one. If you’ve already watched it, well, you…

Jaren Jackson 20 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/26/2019)

20 points is all well and good for Jaren Jackson Jr., that’s a nice point total for him these days. What I’m concerned about is the “4” I see for him in the rebounds column of the boxscore. Four? Rebounds? During the whole game? Okay, so not the whole game, because he only played 34…

Jaren Jackson 22 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

If Jaren Jackson doesn’t watch out, he’s going to be looking in a mirror in a few years and not recognize the pure three-point specialist staring back at him. Shooting threes is fun, I get that. Personally, I’d prefer dunking it, but if I had been dunking for as long as Jackson has, I’d get…

Jaren Jackson 24 Points Full Highlights (12/20/2019)

Normally, when a player’s jumpshooting form is severely borked, I would advocate for them to break it down and rebuild it. In practice, relearning how to shoot a jumper is very difficult (hence the low success rate of jumpshot reformers), but I would still advocate for it. Somebody like Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, for example, who has…

Jaren Jackson Career High 43 Points/9 Threes Full Highlights (12/13/2019)

Jaren Jackson awoke from his sleep and was immediately startled by his surroundings. However, the immense comfort of the bed he was sleeping in somewhat dampened his response, and he drew the luxuriously soft white covers closer to him while he pondered the strangeness of the situation. He didn’t even remember going to sleep at…

Jaren Jackson 24 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2019)

Jaren Jackson Jr.’s much-publicized fouling woes were a prominent issue of his during his rookie campaign. Actually, “much-publicized” is overstating it by quite a bit, but his fouling woes were at least “medium-publicized”, including by me. That season, Jackson Jr. averaged 5.2 fouls per 36 minutes. It hasn’t gotten better for JJJ in his second…

Jaren Jackson 26 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2019)

If Jaren Jackson was a meatball sub, how many meatballs do you think would be on that sub? It’s a question that’s open to debate, certainly. Many of the worlds’ top minds are working on it at this very moment. But that shouldn’t stop the layperson from adding their own input to the discussion. We…

Jaren Jackson 31 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)

Good news, Grizzlies fans! Jaren Jackson Jr., your prized young talent who is probably the future of the franchise alongside Ja Morant, is no longer getting outplayed by Brandon Clarke! Part of that has to do with Clarke getting injured last game and not playing this one, but another part of it is that Jackson…

Jaren Jackson 28 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/25/2019)

It has come to my attention that Jaren Jackson’s rebounding numbers aren’t all they should be. It’s not, like, a Brook Lopez situation where they’re comically low and pathetic (don’t even talk to be about how he “boxes out” I don’t want to hear it), but for a 6-11 dude with intact knee ligaments, it’s…

Jaren Jackson 22 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/17/2019)

Jaren Jackson Jr. just set a career-high in three-point makes with five of them in this game. His shooting form still doesn’t sit right with me, but if your unorthodox shooting form allows you to shoot almost 38% from the deepzone, then I suppose you should keep shooting it that way and not try to…
