In this year's NBA draft, the Memphis Grizzlies, who did not have a first-round pick, used the second-round pick No. 45 to select first-year striker GG Jackson who previously played for the University of South Carolina, and then used the second-round pick No. 56 to draft Tarik Biberovic, a flanker who previously played for Turkish league powerhouse Fenerbahce.
Jackson was considered to have a mid-to-late first round before the start of the joint tryout, but due to his poor performance in the joint tryout, coupled with some potential personality problems, his draft market went all the way down, and the Grizzlies can be said to have "picked up" him. As for Bibelovic, as a 22-year-old, based on his performances in Europe this season, I believe it is unlikely that anyone will think he can be selected in this year's draft. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is simply the Bosnian version of Wang Zhelin, and he was selected in a blur, and it is estimated that he did not even expect it.
G.G.-Jackson Jackson）
Team: University of South Carolina (NCAA)
Date of birth: December 2004
Position: Power forward
Height: 204cm
Weight: 97.3kg
Arm span: 212cm
Standing height: 269cm
Template: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Season stats: 32 appearances, 31.9 minutes per game, 15.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 2.7 turnovers, shooting 38.4% from the field, 32.4% from three-point range and 67.7% from the free-throw line.
Jackson has great physical talent and athleticism and is a very versatile striker. He is very comprehensive on the offensive end, not only has a good breakthrough ability and frame ability, but also has a certain medium and long-range projection ability. As a taller striker, his dribbling ability and basic skills also look quite good. Jackson was also able to use his physical talent to provide some assists and changes on the defensive end, giving him the opportunity to grow into a reliable outside defender. As a result, he is considered to have a very high ceiling and development potential, and has the opportunity to grow into an all-round striker.
However, Jackson's shortcomings are also quite obvious, and can even be said to be visible to the naked eye. His offensive choices are very poor, and he often completes some obviously problematic offenses on the field, which is also an important factor in his less than ideal offensive efficiency. In addition, his shooting stability and continuity have obvious room for improvement. Perhaps the most worrying thing is his ball intelligence and his ability to read games, his lack of sufficient passing ability and big picture, and his understanding of the game is still at a very low level. His stats are really shining, but that's largely because he has a lot of possession. However, his individual performance has not led to the team's improvement at all, and his University of South Carolina has seen a huge decline in record this season compared to last season, which is enough to show Jackson's damage to the team.
The previous Jackson draft was more or less closely related to his physical talent and his versatility, but after the joint tryout, as the teams further contacted and understood him, his various shortcomings were also exposed, which was the primary reason for his plummet. However, the Grizzlies still insisted on choosing this potential stock when other teams refused to consider him, which is indeed very "courageous".
Tarik Biberovic/Bosnia-Herzegovina national
Team: Fenerbahce (Turkish Super League)
Date of birth: January 2001
Location: flank
Height: 201cm
Weight: 99kg
Arm span: 211cm
Template: Bogdan Bogdanovic?
Stats for the season: 36 appearances, 13.1 minutes per game, 4.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.1 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers, shooting 38.5% from the field, 34.8% from three-point range, and 81% from the free-throw line.
Bibelovic is a well-rounded flanking swinger. He has a certain shooting ability on the court, as well as a certain passing ability and strategy, and he can also provide some rebounding protection support on the defensive end. But other than that, his abilities in all aspects are more or less lackluster. As a 22-year-old rookie, his development has stalled significantly in recent seasons, and he is only a humble bench player at Fenerbahce, and his contribution and role to the team is very limited.
For the Grizzlies, choosing Bibelovich's recognized draft loss is equivalent to giving up the draft pick outright. Bibelovic doesn't have any chance to land in the NBA now or in the future, and considering that this is not the first time Grizzlies management has done such a thing, I can only admire the Grizzlies' deep pockets, and they don't care about the second-round pick.
Summary:
The Grizzlies should be the most competitive team in the West these seasons, and they should also try to find as much as possible for the team to quickly enter the rotation in the draft. Jackson may not be worthy of this draft pick, but at least with his current ability and the way he plays, he is unlikely to have a chance to contribute to the team right away. Given his potential stabbing attributes, he could also cause problems in the team's locker room. As for Bibelovich, as he just said, if you really don't want to choose, there are 10,000 ways to dispose of this draft pick, but the Grizzlies made the worst choice. The Grizzlies may not necessarily be the worst-performing team in this year's draft, but they're definitely one of the worst.
