View Full Version : Jaren Jackson Jr. is blocking shots at an unprecedented rate
The all time record for block percentage in a season is 10.8% by Manute Bol. JJJ is currently at 12.6% through 11 games :biggums:
He’s also beasting on offense, putting up 18.4 PPG on 62.7 TS% in only 26.3 MPG.

Was he always 240 lbs?
I thought he was like a 220-225 guy. If he HAS put on weight then maybe that has something to do with his defense in the paint.

Idk He led the league in blocks per game last year but this is just absurd.
i think he was the same weight last year
he's either young and improving or off to a hot start
probably key for memphis that he continues to develop

He's only 23 and he was supposed to have the highest ceiling in his draft class IIRC. If he can keep up this stat rate with more minutes he will be an all-star and all-nba.

I dont watch a ton of nets or grizzlies but something tells me jaren jackson jr is infinitely better at defense
is it really just about blocks. and why is giannis disqualified from these awards all of a sudden

I haven't followed his career, but I always thought he was one of the most talented prospects of that draft class.
The similarities to KG are obvious, with great athleticism and defensive instincts and also 3 point range.
