Jaren Jackson Jr. · One season ago, Jaren Jackson Jr. led the NBA in blocks while being named to the All-Defensive First Team — now, he’s a first-time All-Star. The Memphis Grizzlies’ fifth-year forward — again leading the league in blocks in 2022-23 — trades defense for offense as his first bucket in an NBA All-Star Game is a running dunk that he throws down with his left hand. Jackson Jr. scored six points on 3-for-4 shooting in his eight minutes for Team LeBron on February 19, 2023, with he and Grizzlies teammate Ja Morant becoming the first All-Star duo in franchise history with the team sitting in second place in the Western Conference heading into the second half. · State of Mint
