People have posted numerous times this year asking why Zach isn't playing more and i"ve always said: Jaren Jackson Jr.

This makes the case better:
Zach and his pt and growth
- Thread starter Schmedly_Whiplash
- Start date
JJJ has been solid all year - was just coming off a 42-pt game @ San Antonio. Unfortunately, two minutes into Memphis' last game @ Atlanta, he went down with an ankle sprain and is now week-to-week. Grizzlies have hit a little bit of a wall, losing 7 of 10 and falling to 4th in the West.....big loss for them going down the stretch.
IMO, Zach Edey has been steady all year despite some limits on his playing time with injuries and match-ups. Think they'll keep figuring it out more and more with optimizing him. He and Morant have some chemistry, but they may not figure it out until into next year. If JJJ can get back, Memphis could still be a problem for the rest of the West.
OKC the favorite right now.
