JJJ got 2 Rebs and 5 fouls in 23 mins lol

Getting tired of his ass. I could accept it if he was boxing niggas out but he just gets beat on the glass consistently. Boy soft.

I had been on the fence on whether or not Memphis should keep him or not but Im convinced they should just move him and get a ton of value while they still can

 

[Sky Davis]

Imagine New Orleans with the Pacers first round pick this year and their own top ten pick


How easy it would be to move off the Zion era and pivot in another direction

Now they gotta move Zion and Herb Jones and hope that’s enough

JJJ is polarizing to me

Part of it is him but I also don’t think he’s being fully utilized to his potential on this team

I really like him too he’s a really nice guy he just does not dominate matchups but I don’t think it’s entirely his fault

He really needs to focus on defensive skills and a better inside the arc game

@Freeman

I know you weren't really feeling Myles Turner....how would you feel about going after Jarren?

 

[southsil4lil]

They should be able to get good value for Herb....he's going to help a good team.

He's one of those players like Draymond where he needs to be on a competitive team to truly show his value

I feel the exact same away....he does so many good things on the court and is very good defensively but also leave a lot to be desired as well, but at the same time I think its the way hes being used too....it's weird

Very unique player to gauge


He's kind of like Bam offensively where I feel like they still have so much untapped potential and could be doing more to consistently be a force on that end....I like when both of then handle the ball and bring the ball up court lol

Not bad but I think Memphis could do a littlenbetter than that

Jaren needs to be more Mobley, bam or Chet but he’s being used like a KAT and while he can do it, it’s ehh

I have no idea what his trade value would be lol

I like their podcast and I’m not surprised they feel the same as we do.

Hot take: JJJ is a better player than Turner but I would take Turner over him

And that says a lot since it’s big jersey over here

Funny, I would rather have Jarren over the Longhorn lol

 

[southsil4lil]

I think it should be high imo....he's still pretty young

But he did just sign a new deal

This is a really good evaluation.....Jaren might even have the best on ball dribbling skills of that group but he is being asked to play more of KAT type role when doesn't have the volume or quick release from 3 to do that amongst other things

Has JJJ been producing enough for Memphis though?

-He’s a poor rebounder (5.5 career averages)
-A high frequency fouler (right now it’s a career high
-Averaging 17 and 5 for the grizzlies as their 2nd best player and some nights the best player
-Blocks have been doing down every year the past 4 seasons
-Played more than 65 games only 3x in his career
-Can’t stop bam when they play
-Goes up too weak in the paint
-Showed he can’t play in an Olympic setting

Idk man it’s hard to gauge

I know how good he is though

Hmm Im really thinking about this now...Turner offers more rim protection but Jaren is better switching and defending on the perimeter

I think Jaren might have a little more upside offensively since he can do more with the ball....he's also 3 years younger than Myles

Ok never mind lol

I don't agree but I do agree with the point you making.

 

[Sky Davis]

I don't agree but I do agree with the point you making.

If JJJ was more disciplined and didn’t foul so much to stay on the court and if he played with more…intention inside the arc I would pick him

But his game yells “I’m not fully committed to what I’m doing right now”

Makes us even worst on the glass. No thanks. And I like turner I just don't think we should give up the farm for him.

Barnes >>>> JJJ
