In a previous NBA regular season game, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 116-110 after a hard-fought battle. After this game, the Pacers, who won three in a row, improved their record to 27-20 and continued to rank 6th in the East; The Grizzlies, who ended their three-game winning streak, slipped to 18-28 and remained in 13th place in the West.
Although the Grizzlies lost the game in this game, the team's backup rookie Gregory Jackson II (Gregory Jackson II) still performed very well. He played 28 minutes and 52 seconds in the game, shooting 6-of-9 from the field, 2-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, and 4-of-5 from the free throw line, and efficiently cut down 18 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, and the plus/minus was also a team-high 0. Jackson has shown all-around scoring ability on the offensive end, not only is he quite efficient under the basket, but he also has a very consistent outside shooting ability. Jackson's performance on the defensive end is also remarkable, with physical talent and athleticism, coupled with his super energy and positivity, he also provides a lot of help to the team on the defensive end. It's a pity that Jackson is only a substitute player after all, and his playing time and ball possession are relatively limited, which also greatly affects his performance.
Since the beginning of this season, Jackson has represented the team in a total of 14 NBA regular season games, averaging 14 minutes per game4 minutes, the average data per game is 81 point 26 rebounds 06 assists 04 steals 05 blocks and 52 shooting percentage1%, 50% three-point shooting, 72 free throw percentage4%。At the start of the season, Jackson spent most of his time in the NBA Development League, and he struggled to get into the rotation, and his playing time was very limited. However, in recent times, because the Grizzlies are really full of wounded soldiers, they are also forced to start using Jackson. Unexpectedly, the newcomer Jackson immediately showed super competitiveness after getting the opportunity to play, especially on the offensive end, and his scoring ability was even more impressive.
Jackson was selected by the Grizzlies with the 45th pick in the second round of last year's NBA Draft, although his draft pick was not high, but he also had a special identity, he was a high-profile five-star high school student, and his talent and potential were visible to the naked eye. It's just that his performance in the NCAA last season was not particularly ideal, which also caused his draft pick to slide all the way and eventually fell out of the first-round zone. At least as things stand, the Grizzlies have found a treasure in selecting Jackson with a second-round pick, and Jackson may have a chance to grow into a reliable forward rotation player?
