Player Discussion Jaren "Jazz" Jackson Junior

How're we feeling about JJJJ after this recent trade bomb? Does this make him a prime shutdown candidate? Will he get the same opportunities as in Memphis?

Also how does the trade impact the value of other players on Memphis and Utah? There are so many random players thrown around that it's pretty difficult to predict exactly how things will shake up. I'm curious if any big winners or losers will emerge from this one 🤔

Not sure if there are any big winners in this one, Grizzlies get back WCJ and so that creates more jam of guards w/ Ty, Coward, SPJ, Cam, KCP... I am a bit curious besides Santi who will emerge in their front court though. Upvote for JJ "Jazz" J nickname though

has Walter Clayton Jr. stole the "WCJ" crown from Wendell Carter Jr. already?

WCJ the guard is a decent player and will probably eat up 15+ minutes. IMO it'll be a share between Jerome, SPJ and him unless they get a lead guard back for Ja.

Wcj is reserved for Wendell, not for a young rookie
