Next Gen Podcast: Revisiting the DPOY case for Jaren Jackson Jr.

Bryson Wright and Alex Winton are back this week and open with a conversation on the DPOY race. Evan Mobley has been gaining traction on Jaren Jackson Jr., so we decided to give a deeper dive into Jaren’s case. We also discuss the Grizzlies that could make All-NBA or All-defensive teams.

Next, we talk about Kenneth Lofton Jr. and his 42-point, 14-rebound game against the Thunder. Now that he has been added to a true NBA contract and is eligible for the postseason, how can he help the Grizzlies going forward? We also discuss the other players who could make an impact near the end of the bench in Ziaire Williams and David Roddy.

Finally, we discuss the play-in game and who we expect the Grizzlies to play in the first round. We discuss how the Lakers and Timberwolves can match up with the Grizzlies and how we would feel in either matchup. All that on more on this week’s episode!
