NBA: Ranking the 20 best players under the age of 23

20. Jaren Jackson Jr., 21, Memphis Grizzlies

Jaren Jackson Jr. had a great start to his career but after recovering from injury for most of this season, left much to be desired with the handful of games that he participated in. The verdict is still out on JJJ, but I believe that he has promise.

During his “breakout” sophomore season, JJJ averaged 17 points and five rebounds on 47 percent shooting from the field and 39 percent shooting from 3-point range. He’s an interesting two-way player and one that is continuing to grow as a development player.

His fourth season should be telling but there’s no question that he has star potential and growing next to Ja Morant should be interesting to watch next season.
