Jaren Jackson Jr. · The 2023 Defensive Player of the Year can also throw down with the best of them. Jaren Jackson Jr. showed the Oklahoma City Thunder defense no mercy as he took Kenrich Williams on a ride into the paint before taking flight and landing an emphatic two-handed slam over the back of the overmatched Thunder forward. An All-Star for the first time during the 2022-23 season, Jackson Jr. showed early signs of that ascendance as he put together a huge game of 25 points, 12 rebounds, two steals and three blocks in a 121-110 Memphis Grizzlies win on November 18, 2022. For the season, he posted career-best marks in field goal percentage, points, rebounds and blocks per game. · State of Mint
