What is worse, this group has an outgoing first-rounder hanging over its head. While the pick owed to the Boston Celtics has top-eight protection this season and top-six policy the next, it’ll be redeemed in 2021 in case it hasn’t already conveyed.

Jackson’s per-36-minute averages comprise 19.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, 1.2 triples and 1.2 steals; that’s unprecedented creation for an NBA freshman.
It might help if Jackson had more high-ceiling talent around him, but maybe Memphis could make a path to some this offseason.
