Even if the 2018-2019 season ended much uglier than it started for the Memphis Grizzlies, Jaren Jackson Jr. gave them plenty of reasons for optimism as they head into what is sure to be a major rebuild. While his rookie season was curtailed by a nasty bruise to his leg, Jackson averaged just under 15 points per game over his last 15 games before being shut down, with several games of 20+ point scored in that stretch.

As a legitimate two-way player, it wouldn’t be surprising to hear people around the league to start mentioning Jackson as one of the game’s true “unicorns,” especially if he can help the Grizzlies stay even somewhat relevant.
